When we hear the term Building Information Model (BIM), the word building stands out, but let’s not forget that BIM and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) go well beyond just buildings. This presentation will bring together VDC Leaders from the water/wastewater market segment who will highlight the value of BIM and VDC on these project types from the perspective of a designer, builder, and owner, demonstrating a full lifecycle approach to leveraging these technologies and processes in design-build.

The Virtual Design & Construction Leadership Exchange (VDCLEx) was co-located with this year’s Design-Build Conference & Expo. This half-day pre-conference event explored how VDC is impacting designers, builders and Owners by enhancing design excellence, increasing quality and productivity, and improving lifecycle costs. The event included a general session, Leaders Forum and two specialized tracks: one for experienced VDC professionals and those new to VDC. No matter what your level of VDC experience, the VDCLEx offers opportunities to better understand how design and construction technology and emerging processes are integral to driving greater efficiencies on design-build projects.
