Virtual Design and Construction can help teams identify risk earlier, evaluate alternatives and make better-informed project decisions. But for many transportation and water/wastewater Owners, the technology (and even the terminology) can still feel unfamiliar.
In this episode of the Design-Build Delivers Podcast, DBIA Director of Virtual Design and Construction Brian Skripac joins Patty Scharf of Burgess & Niple, Jon Berkoe of Arup and Jeff Scarano of HRSD to discuss what DBIA’s VDC Committee learned from conversations with infrastructure Owners and practitioners.
The group examines how models improve constructability, operability and maintainability; how Owners can use project data after turnover; what changes when models become contractual documents; and why leadership and trust are essential to getting full value from VDC.
