Virtual Design & Construction

We're dedicated to ongoing research and development, continuously exploring the latest technological advancements to redefine construction possibilities.

Our commitment to innovation and cutting-edge technology sets us apart, allowing us to reshape how projects are executed. By leveraging advanced tools and processes, we consistently deliver unparalleled value to our clients.

Our Approach

Our approach to Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is a strategic fusion of cutting-edge technology and collaborative expertise. Through VDC, we revolutionize construction practices, optimize efficiency, sustainability, and project outcomes.

OUR TEAMS

  • Embrace a commitment to Lean principles by leveraging technology for sustainability, efficiency and continuous improvement.

  • Create value for clients by streamlining project processes and reduce costs through efficient construction practices and technology integration.

  • Emphasize integration of preconstruction and construction phases for seamless planning and execution optimization.

Our Focus Areas

We bring together various stakeholders, into a cohesive digital environment where we collaborate, share real-time information, optimize design, and anticipate potential clashes or conflicts before they manifest on the construction site. We contribute on-ground expertise to ensure that the virtual models align with practical construction realities to streamline the decision-making process, ultimately leading to more efficient and cost-effective construction projects.
We leverage cutting-edge technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and 3D visualization to create highly detailed and interactive digital representations of construction projects. Through the use of advanced modelling, we simulate the entire construction process, detect clashes, optimize designs, and make informed decisions throughout a project's lifecycle. This approach enhances our collaboration, reduces risks, and facilitates the efficient planning and execution of complex construction projects.

Our Model-to-Field process seamlessly connects digital design with onsite construction activities. It involves rigorous coordination, clash resolution, and the transformation of digital models into construction documentation, ensuring precise guidance for onsite teams. Incorporating 4D scheduling, survey data, and continuous updates, this process enhances collaboration, reduces errors, and optimizes efficiency and cost-effectiveness throughout construction projects.

We leverage Asset Information Management (AIM) and Digital Project Delivery (DPD) to efficiently manage and update information, ensuring that the digital models created during VDC are not just used for construction but continue to provide value throughout the asset's operation and maintenance phases. This seamless transition from design and construction to the asset's lifecycle management enhances efficiency, reduces operational costs, and maximizes the return on investment for the built environment.

Technology

Our specialized technology brings insights to your construction projects, offering enhanced decision-making capabilities, cost savings, and streamlined project management, helping to ensure your project's success.

  • Scan_Reality Overlay Example

    Our construction projects leverage advanced Reality Capture technologies, such as 3D LiDAR Scanning for precise 3D models documenting existing conditions, and Photogrammetry techniques transforming 2D images into detailed 3D models.

    We utilize 360° Progress Photos to create a comprehensive visual history of project evolution, facilitating project management and decision-making. Aerial Photography from drones provide a bird's-eye view for progress monitoring, challenge identification, and effective communication with clients and team members.



     

  • VR Onsite

    Our Virtual and Mixed Reality solutions bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds. By immersing stakeholders in realistic 3D models, we enable better understanding and collaboration, leading to more informed decision-making and improved project outcomes.

     

  • Survey layout-1

    We leverage state-of-the-art robotic total stations to perform precise on-site layout tasks directly from the digital model. This not only enhances accuracy but also accelerates the construction process, minimizing costly rework and delays.

  • 4. Integration & Coordination (1)

    Our VDC system enables a thorough comparison between as-built elements and the original design intent. This in-depth analysis identifies discrepancies early in the construction process, ensuring your projects adhere to the highest quality standards and minimizing the likelihood of costly post-construction modifications.


     

  • Drone (1)-1

    Our highly skilled drone pilots are certified to operate in even the most restrictive conditions, working closely with NAVCAN (Navigation Canada) for safe and compliant operations. This enables us to capture critical data and imagery from challenging environments, ensuring that no aspect of your project goes undocumented.
