BIM & VDC
Model-based workflows around the project: coordination, federation of models from multiple trades, construction visualization, and schedule- or quantity-linked workflows where the model carries more than geometry. Reality capture feeds it — what is actually built, measured against what was coordinated — which is the part most VDC programs are missing.
- What it costs
- Custom scope · technical review
- Also called
- VDC services · BIM coordination · model federation · 4D construction sequencing · 5D BIM · virtual design and construction
Where it earns its keep
Use it for these.
- Projects with several trades modelling in isolation
- Teams that need the model to answer schedule or quantity questions
- Contractors extending a small internal VDC group rather than replacing it
Don’t use it for this
A one-off geometry request. If you want a model and not a model-based process, that is 3D modelling or Scan-to-BIM.
We put this on every service page because the fastest way to waste your money is to buy the impressive tool instead of the correct one. If the row above describes your job, say so on the call and we’ll point you at the right one — including when it’s cheaper than this.
