Virtual Design and Construction (VDC)
Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) is a service Integron Systems provides to digitally model, coordinate, and validate building systems before they are installed in the field.
By simulating construction in a virtual environment, our VDC services help project teams identify constructability issues early, coordinate across trades, and deliver more accurate build-ready documentation, reducing rework, delays, and uncertainty during construction.
Our Virtual
Design & Construction Services
Supports projects at any stage of the construction lifecycle and is tailored to the complexity and needs of each project
-
Electrical equipment modeling (switchgear, panels, feeders)
Branch conduit and lighting systems
In-wall devices and system supports
Low-voltage cable tray and pathways
Trade coordination for constructability validation
-
Robotic Total Station (RTS) Layout: Laser-based layout tied directly to the digital model for precise field installation
Prefabrication & Modular Support: Panel builds, underground conduit racks, and modular assemblies informed by VDC models
Custom Geometry & Visualization: Specialized modeling for unique layouts, space constraints, or non-standard condition
Where VDC Fits In Your Project
VDC can start from the earliest concepts of design all the way through to as-built documentation and asset management for building owners.
Early Design / Concepts of Design: Collaborating with architects and engineers to shape system layouts and space requirements.
Pre-Designed Projects: Modeling systems within existing architectural and engineering plans.
Construction & Installation: Providing coordinated layouts and installation-ready documentation.
Project Close-Out: Delivering accurate as-built documentation and digital models for owners.
VDC Project Outcomes
Provide professionally formatted, standardized construction documents and a fully navigable 3D digital model of the building models.
We support early identification of constructability issues, reduce rework and labor inefficiencies, and improve schedule predictability across all phases of a project.
By delivering accurate, coordinated models and documentation, our VDC services help with reliable as-built records and support long-term asset and facility planning.
Virtual Design & Construction vs Building Information Modeling
BIM (Building Information Modeling) represents a holistic methodology for addressing design and construction challenges. This produces a digital representation of an asset throughout its lifecycle from planning and design to construction and operations, defining not only physical dimensions and spatial location, but also how systems are connected, when and how they are constructed, and key attributes such as materials, cost, and performance.
VDC (Virtual Design & Construction) represents the workflows, tools, standards, and expertise that allow teams to apply BIM effectively. VDC brings together modeling, coordination, and execution strategies to turn digital information into constructible, field-ready solutions.
