Virtual Design and Construction

In today’s fast-paced and dynamic construction industry, being able to integrate virtual tools and methodologies isn’t just an advantage - it’s a necessity. Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is one of the innovative technologies transforming construction and design. With the ability to seamlessly integrate data to make informed decisions, mitigate risks and assure quality through digital modeling, and communicate and collaborate easily, VDC is helping to make projects more manageable and sustainable. 

In this course, you’ll learn about the key VDC components like workflows, metrics, and virtual modeling that make the building experience more efficient. With course content exploring Integrated Concurrent Engineering (ICE), Building Information Modeling (BIM), and Project Product Management (PPM), you’ll be empowered to spearhead projects and align client objectives with efficient, effective industry-standard practices.
