BIM & Virtual Design and Construction (VDC)
Field Focused Modeling That Improves Installation Outcomes
Van Ert Electric’s Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) team uses BIM based 3D modeling to improve constructability, reduce rework, and streamline electrical installation on complex projects. Our models are developed with one primary goal: helping field leadership execute work more efficiently and with greater confidence.
By providing accurate, coordinated, and installation ready models, Van Ert’s VDC services support better planning, clearer communication, and more predictable project delivery.
VDC Built for the Field
Our VDC approach goes beyond clash detection and visualization. Models are developed to support foremen and crews with the information they need to plan work, coordinate installations, and maintain productive job sites.
VDC supports field execution by:
- Improving installation sequencing and work planning
- Identifying conflicts before construction begins
- Supporting efficient crew layout and access planning
- Reducing field rework and schedule disruptions
Coordination & Constructability
Van Ert’s VDC team collaborates closely with project management, engineering, field supervision, and other trades to resolve issues early—before material is installed.
Through coordinated 3D modeling, we:
- Identify and resolve spatial conflicts
- Improve routing efficiency and system layout
- Support constructability reviews and prefabrication planning
- Enhance coordination across disciplines
This proactive approach improves accuracy and helps keep projects on schedule.
Prefabrication & Installation Planning
VDC plays a key role in supporting prefabrication strategies and installation planning. Accurate models enable:
- Early identification of prefabrication opportunities
- Improved material planning and takeoffs
- Reduced field labor variability
- More consistent installation quality
By aligning models with real world installation methods, Van Ert helps translate digital coordination into field productivity.
Our VDC Process
Van Ert’s VDC services follow a structured, project focused approach:
1. Early engagement and scope definition
2. 3D model development aligned with design intent and field input
3. Trade coordination and clash resolution
4. Constructability review and install sequencing support
5. Ongoing coordination throughout construction
This process ensures models remain relevant and useful as projects evolve.
Technology & Platforms
Van Ert’s VDC team uses industry standard BIM and coordination platforms to support collaboration and compatibility across project teams.
Tools commonly utilized include:
- Revit
- Navisworks
- AutoCAD
- Bluebeam
- Project specific coordination platforms as required
Technology supports the process—but results are driven by experience, coordination, and field knowledge.
