The VEC team employs cutting-edge BIM software to create precise 3D models of the prefabricated components from 2D CAD drawings. Our BIM experts make sure to cover all the client’s means and methods, system routing, and prefabrication preferences. Project architects and engineers are able to conduct advanced design reviews benefiting from the model visualization and enhancing project efficiency.
VEC checks elements’ 3D models for clashes to ensure disruption-free, fast, and seamless work in the prefabrication shop. Our team performs BIM model coordination and components’ assembly simulations to identify and mitigate conflicts and deviations at the early stages of the project. VEC’s Clash Detection services allow for minimizing the number of Requests For Information (RFIs) and change orders, keeping the project within the timeline and budget.
The earlier the general contractors and subcontractors start looking into the prefabrication options for the project, the better. VEC’s BIM-based Prefabrication Planning provides project stakeholders with enhanced accuracy on building materials’ specification, quantities, and cost, elements’ manufacturing and delivery status, transportation logistics, and the prefabrication process synchronization with the project schedule. This enables us to identify the areas that will best benefit from prefabrication and develop tailored successful prefabrication solutions.
Our project management and administration team excels in handling prefabrication intricacies with meticulous attention. We maintain and ensure continuous communication between developers, project owners, general contractors, and subcontractors to ensure effective project collaboration. The VEC team develops a project-specific BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and coordinates scheduling, integrating them seamlessly with project requirements and milestones. We manage BIM coordination on a simple platform providing our clients with precise data to keep them updated on progress.
After completing the BIM coordination process and sign-off, our team produces shop drawings from the sign-off model and procures the material for prefabrication to the suppliers and manufacturers. The Bill of Material (BOM) generated from a fully coordinated and highly accurate 3D model and the delivery of the whole assemblies of prefabricated elements on construction site rather than raw building materials allow for tangible cost-saving opportunities, such as transportation and labor involvement.
