Virtual Design and Construction
At STO Building Group, we no longer “do BIM”. The virtual construction process has evolved from simple clash detection into an upfront, real-time, collaborative engagement—and our in-house Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) team helps lead the way.
Benefits of Our VDC Process
- Scheduling accuracy increases as the model can be sequenced in time.
- Coordination cost decreases. The coordination efforts during the design-assist phase are more comprehensive and can be completed remotely during design, rather than while work is being put in place.
- 3D clash detection drawings are created and updated as issues are resolved.
- Real-life formats are created before construction, allowing designers and contractors to establish more efficient routing and placement for MEP materials.
- Future additions, renovations, and maintenance issues are enhanced due to the 3D as-built model decisions.
- Innovation helps find new solutions.
The Tech in Our Toolbox
With our full technology toolkit, our team can provide value as early as the conceptual design process through the entire project lifecycle.
- visualization/animations
- laser scanning
- 360° photo documentation
- drones
- robotics
- BIM
Solving Problems Before They Become Problems
Our VDC team works in concert with the owner’s design and engineering teams as if they were one and the same. Working together through visualization, modeling, and site capture tools, the team helps communicate complex challenges, phasing plans, and site logistics and develop buildable solutions to areas of conflict.
With a clearer understanding of the end goals and how we can address potential challenges along the way, the project team can rest easier with the predictability our VDC processes provide.
