What this feels like — in your words.
For construction contractors
You're being asked to deliver projects in BIM. The contractor next door has a VDC department. You have a designer who's good at Revit and a project manager who tries to coordinate models on a shared drive. When clash detection finds 400 issues, nobody knows whose fault it is or how to fix the workflow.
For JATCs training the next generation of trades
Your apprentices need to learn Revit, Navisworks, and AutoCAD on real workstations with real environments. Your existing computer lab can't run the software well. The instructors are doing their best with what they have. The contractors hiring your graduates expect them to be VDC-ready on day one — and right now, they're not.
For specialty contractors and signatory shops
You're being squeezed. General contractors expect coordinated models. Owners expect BIM deliverables. Your competition is investing in VDC capability. You're trying to figure out whether to hire a VDC manager, train someone up, or outsource it — and you don't know enough to evaluate the options.
A VDC environment is not software you install. It's a discipline you build. We do both.
We assess where you are. We design the environment — workstations, storage, licenses, network, models, file structures, coordination workflows. We build it. We train your people. We keep it running. If you don't have anyone to run it, we run it for you.
This is the deepest service we offer. It's also the most specific. Not every client needs it — but for the ones who do, it's the difference between competing for work and watching it go to someone else.
The actual deliverables.
- +VDC capability assessment — where you are, where you need to be
- +Workstation specification and procurement (the hardware that actually runs the software)
- +VDI delivery for users who need to run Revit, Navisworks, and Bluebeam from anywhere
- +License strategy and procurement (Autodesk, Bluebeam, Trimble, Navisworks)
- +File structure and model coordination workflows
- +Clash detection processes
- +Network and storage infrastructure for large model files
- +Backup and version control
- +Training for designers, project managers, and apprentices
- +Ongoing operations — if you don't have a VDC manager, we are your VDC manager
- +Integration with project management and accounting systems
Contractors who've been asked for BIM deliverables and don't know where to start. Contractors who started VDC three years ago and never finished. JATCs training apprentices who need to be VDC-ready when they graduate. Specialty trades being squeezed by general contractors with bigger VDC departments.
