The Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) team creates visualizations using cutting-edge technology to build models that transcend traditional methods.

 

Rudolph and Sletten deploys an in-house Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) program to deliver any type of project with precision. Our process centers on a coordinated construction model that aligns architectural, structural, MEPF systems, and specialty systems.

By combining predictive clash detection, vendor submittal integration, and clear issue accountability, we reduce rework, maintain schedule, and improve construction quality.

R&S is a recognized industry leader in BIM and uses it as a platform for coordination, collaboration, and construction planning throughout the project lifecycle. Our VDC capabilities include:

• Laser scanning of existing conditions integrated into the model for visualization, clash detection, and spatial coordination.
• Constructability review to identify scope gaps and reduce RFIs during construction.
• Trade partner model management with structured clash detection workflows and defined ownership of coordination issues.
• 360-degree photo capture for quality control, as-built verification, and progress tracking, allowing remote site walks.
• Alignment of BIM deliverables with Facilities Management and operations to support project turnover.
• Jobsite mobilization and logistics planning using the model to review traffic flow, deliveries, staging, and safety planning.
