Preconstruction shapes the success of a construction project long before the first foundation is poured. This critical phase involves detailed planning, cost management, and team coordination to ensure the project’s goals are feasible and within budget. Additionally, it’s a prime opportunity for risk management and mitigation. The more knowledge and planning upfront, the better potential risks can be identified and […]
Why are industry leaders turning to BIM? With its capacity to streamline construction processes, save costs, and boost productivity, building information modeling stands as a cornerstone of modern construction technology. This article cuts through the jargon to highlight the concrete benefits of BIM, demonstrating its role in project collaboration, budget management, sustainability, and error reduction-all critical elements for the success […]
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a powerful tool that has transformed the construction industry to not only enable more efficient and collaborative project management, but also dramatically save on rework cost and improve sustainability. With highly skilled professionals showcasing extensive knowledge and expertise in BIM technologies, outsourcing work to a Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) consulting partner can bring immense […]
In the dynamic world of construction, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a game-changer. This transformative technology has the potential to enhance planning, design, project management, sustainability, quality control, and cost efficiency. Playing a new yet vital role in the construction industry, AI is leveraging advanced technologies to optimize processes and improve outcomes. Through machine learning and data analysis, these […]
There are more than 1.1 million women working in the construction industry, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While this pales in comparison to the near 10 million men in the field, women around the world are joining forces to narrow this gap and help raise each other up in the industry. In fact, this was the impetus behind […]
Virtual design and construction (VDC) and building information modeling (BIM) often conjure up a lot of questions. Chief among them: What’s the difference between the two? At a high level, it’s quite simple–VDC is the overarching process, or multi-disciplinary performance model, in which BIM can be utilized as one of the tools. But VDC does not have to incorporate building […]

Semiconductor facilities are in a constant state of change–continually retooling to keep pace with innovation and remain relevant. Yet, this rapid and steady rate of change often comes with a price: tool downtime, schedule delays, production delays, and rework issues. When schedule, production, and safety are mission critical, teams have to think beyond traditional construction methods. This is where digital […]
Michael Compian is a techie at heart. Growing up, he was always intrigued by tech and went on to study it in college. And, even in his spare time, he can usually be found tinkering with 3D printing technology–when he’s not taking care of his two young kids, that is. Though Michael saw a future for himself in technology, he […]
