HOW CAN VDC BENEFIT YOUR PROJECT?
Strategic technology adoption helps us find better ways to accomplish our client’s goals. By investing in technology our teams improve coordination, safety, and quality. We’re also practical and try to determine whether a tool helps us deliver a better project and better value for our clients.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) & Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) fosters a new level of team collaboration and creates tangible value for a project. BIM functions as an excellent platform to drive improved planning, collaboration, and efficiency. Alston offers BIM & VDC services in-house, and we can forecast conflicts, minimize clashes, and avoid their inevitable delays.
Our VDC Specialists use the latest technology in scanning, modeling, and virtual design. We use BIM and VDC during every aspect of your project’s life cycle. We can perform constructability reviews, run clash detection, and perform quantity take-offs. With BIM and VDC, we improve communication between all project team members, enhance efficiencies and reduce risk.
