Test it in the model, before you build it on site.

4D sequencing, 5D cost integration and constructability review tied to the coordination model. Programme conflicts, logistics clashes and cost surprises surface in the model, weeks before they hit site as variation orders.

The Problem

Programme risk shows up at the model, or at the crane

Rework and clashes on site

Conflicts that should have surfaced in coordination only show up when the steel hits the slab. Each one becomes a variation order, a programme delay and a contested cost.

Programme blind spots

The schedule lives in P6, the model lives in Revit, and nobody walks the sequence before the crane arrives. Logistics conflicts and access issues only get caught the day the work fails to start.

Cost surprises

Variations land as contested positions instead of measured deltas. Cash flow forecasts trail actual progress. The cost report tells you what already happened, not what's coming next month.

What VDC delivers

Three capabilities. One coordinated model

4D, 5D and ESG run on the same model the project team already trusts. No second source of truth, no duplicate measure, no separate report living outside the federation.

  1. 4D : Scheduling

    Construction sequencing, simulated.

    4D linkage of the coordinated model with the live programme. Sequencing conflicts, logistics clashes and crane-access issues surface in the model, weeks before they hit site as variation orders.

    • Construction sequence simulation
    • Logistics & access planning
    • Look-ahead vs as-built tracking
    • Stage-gate reviews tied to programme

  2. 5D : Costing

    Cost loaded onto the model, not the spreadsheet.

    5D integration links the schedule to live cost data. Variations are tracked as quantity deltas, not contested positions. The cost report tracks against the programme, not behind it.

    • Schedule-linked cost reporting
    • Variation tracking from model deltas
    • Cash-flow forecasting
    • Tender package quantity comparison

  3. ESG : Sustainability

    Embodied carbon, before pour.

    Carbon, energy, water and waste metrics computed from the coordinated model. Material substitution decisions made in design, not retrospectively reported in handover.

    • Embodied carbon analysis (One Click LCA / EC3)
    • Energy performance modelling
    • Water and waste lifecycle metrics
    • Material substitution scenarios

How VDC delivery
actually runs.

  • 01

    A UAE VDC lead owns your programme

    Onsite, accountable, one name on the contract. Walks the sequence with the project team, available in your meetings, your time zone, your site walks.

  • 02

    A 260-person studio runs the simulations

    4D sequencing, 5D cost integration and ESG analysis run by a scaled production team. You pay for capacity against the programme, not for a permanent bench.

  • 03

    ISO 19650 is baked in, not bolted on

    Author-Checker-Approver on every sequence and cost run. The VDC outputs sit inside the same governed federation as the BIM Delivery model.

Hybrid delivery — UAE VDC lead coordinating with offshore production studio

Hybrid delivery.

Onsite VDC leadership with a 260-person offshore production team behind it. You get simulation capability embedded alongside the main programme, not a report dropped in from the outside.

How we work
ISO 19650 framework — layered information model

ISO 19650 governance.

Every 4D sequence, 5D cost run and ESG analysis runs through the same quality gate. Author-Checker-Approver on every deliverable, governed to ISO 19650 from setup through handover.
