As an experienced BIM coordinator, VEC recognizes the demand for better processes. That’s why we focus on leveraging our construction background and tech expertise to provide all stakeholders with a project-specific BIM Execution Plan (BEP). Apart from being construction-oriented, these plans are organized, detailed, and transparent.
Our team starts each new project by thoroughly reviewing contract BIM requirements, risks, budgets, CDs, existing conditions, schedules, survey control, and benchmarks. We work closely with all clients to develop a BEP and coordinate scheduling, integrating them seamlessly with project requirements and milestones.
Ultimately, we manage BIM coordination on a simple platform providing our clients with precise data to keep them updated on progress. Thanks to our general coordination professionals, all project teams are on the same page and focused on working towards a constructible model. That allows for creating clear and logical shop drawings, efficient layouts, and a reduction in RFIs and carbon footprint during construction.

“Partnering with VEC is one of the highlights of my latest project. They laid the foundation of success that this project has been built on. I couldn’t be any prouder of what we have achieved, and look to VEC as a trusted partner for all of our future BIM/VDC needs.”
MEP Coordinator, Clune Construction
“I would formally like to thank you and your team for their efforts on the 725 South Wells project. From day one VEC proved to be prepared and organized. Your team was highly engaged prior to the subcontractor kick-off meeting and knew exactly how to manage the coordination schedule. The experience that the lead project manager, Tom Sullivan, has in the construction industry proved to be invaluable. It allowed the entire coordination team to be prepared for a dynamic work environment.”
Project Manager, HITT Contracting, Inc.
“Throughout my time at HITT I have worked with several different companies that provide BIM Management & Coordination. From day 1 VEC proved to be the most prepared and organized of all those companies…After this project, I moved VEC to the top of my list for outside BIM Management & Coordination.”

“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with VEC on my current project. VEC has delivered a wonderful virtual construction experience with their problem solving, detail oriented mindset, and positive attitudes. On a very complicated project, VEC has delivered a quality experience and has led the charge driving our BIM model progress, ensuring trade and design partner accountability. From design progress, subcontractor onboarding, and schedule requirements; VEC looks at the entire
VEC approaches every project as a unique challenge. The first step is to review available contract language to understand what BIM standards have already been considered. We make valuable suggestions that are in line with the project’s nature, allowing our clients to set the stage from the beginning — even before contracts are issued. This provides a powerful tool to lean on during complex project negotiations.
After assisting in establishing strong coordination contract language, we start deeply analyzing construction documents and schedules. Our specialists look for specific information that helps create a targeted BEP and construction coordination schedule. We can set up such records appropriately by understanding the existing site conditions, design, specific challenges, and the desired construction flow.
VEC’s professionals are adept at drawing reviews and scheduling, enabling us to identify relevant milestones and critical paths quickly. We use this information to tailor a coordination schedule and make it fit our customer’s construction schedule. A strong BIM execution plan and a carefully planned schedule make it possible to start the project on the right foot and provide the entire team with clear direction.
Our experts set up a coordination platform ensuring healthy communication, accountability, and transparency. That is because of the importance of shared coordinate systems, specific issues, assignment tracking, and strong communication. The entire project benefits when all parties understand its status and tasks.
At VEC, we do not want project teams to arrive at BIM meetings with nothing more than a semi-coherent list of viewpoints. Instead, we believe in analyzing clashes and leveraging our vast construction experience to organize and assign correctly and only elevate significant issues. After achieving sign-off, we work hand in hand with all clients to guarantee that model shop drawings will be done on time and meet expectations. We are always available to address problems arising after coordination and work hard to make your project succeed.
With VEC’s Change Order Request (COR) Validation Feature, change orders, usually arising amidst the ongoing construction, become a less stressful disruption to the established workflow. BIM software, such as BIM 360, provides efficient change order request management in the collaborative environment as all the parties involved in the project — from stakeholders to trades — are able to have access to the object’s 3D model and its exhaustive related data, including project scope, schedule, and budget. This allows us to ensure that the COR Validation process is highly informed, well-structured and organized, and the impact on the project turnover is easily predictable.
The success of a project is directly linked to the accuracy of the jobsite management. Meticulous onsite quality control guarantees the transparency of the human, financial and material resource consumption, which leads to the project's overall efficiency. To ensure accurate construction management, VEC offers 3D Laser Scanning and Trimble Layout services.
