Before You Build It, Visualize It! ... with Digital Models

When Virtual Design & Construction is used on a construction project, you are expected to correctly and efficiently hand off your portion of the work. But the handover of project content and data is brimming with inefficiency, costing you way too much time and energy. What if model data could be leveraged consistently and seamlessly by the right people at the right time—all the time?


Answer the call. Take our quick survey!

How to effectively coordinate your virtual design projects

The MEP construction industry is slowly moving towards technology adoption, with particular emphasis on Building Information Modeling (BIM) and prefabrication. Yet even MEP project teams who engage in the handover of content and data on a daily basis still do so in ways that are neither automated nor seamless: It takes a monumental effort and a highly motivated team to ensure information moves between stakeholders accurately and efficiently. Anything less leads to errors and re-work.

Join our webinar to learn how connecting workflows through an integrated tech stack will reduce risk, eliminate redundancies, improve project quality, and increase collaboration and productivity.
