VDC & Prefabrication
Federated models, clash detection, laser scanning and prefabricated assemblies that move work from the site into a controlled shop.
We build every complex project twice: once in a coordinated model, then on site. Our virtual design and construction team runs clash detection with trade partners, scans existing buildings and designs prefabricated assemblies such as multi-trade racks and headwall units.
- Federated model coordination and weekly clash reviews
- Laser scanning of existing buildings
- 4D sequencing for logistics and phasing
- Prefabricated MEP racks, headwalls and bathroom pods
- Model-based quantity take-off
- As-built models for facilities teams
How it works
The sequence, step by step.
- Model
Design and trade models combined into one federated model.
- Coordinate
Clashes resolved in weekly sessions before anything is fabricated.
- Prefabricate
Repeatable assemblies built in the shop, tested and delivered on schedule.
- Turn over
An as-built model and asset data handed to the facilities team.
