Virtual Design Construction

Virtual Design Construction for Improved

From start to completion, Virtual Design Construction projects undergo a number of phases characterized by many tasks aimed at identifying, planning, designing, and constructing the proposed facility. Such phases and tasks may be grouped into two main stages.a Preconstruction Stage and a Construction Stage.

During the conceptual planning phase, the owner hires key consultants to begin selecting the project site, and developing a conceptual estimate, plan, and program. In this phase, the owner, after gathering information about the project, makes a decision whether or not to proceed with the project. The design development phase comprises of: (1) the schematic Virtual Design Construction where the design team investigates alternate design solutions and alternate materials and systems, and (2) the detailed design where the design team evaluates, selects, and finalizes the major systems and components of the project.

The design phase also includes the preparation of technical cuments, specifications, as well as the general conditions. The project’s schedule and budget continue to be developed and monitored during this phase. The project procurement phase is the time when the project formally transitions from design preparation into construction preparation. This phase includes the bidding and award process. The project’s schedule and budget are finalized in this phase. The home construction phase presents the actual physical home construction of the project. This phase begins with the mobilization to the site, then the implementation, and finally ends by the project closeout.

The successful completion of a Virtual Design Construction project requires a thorough understanding of all stages and phases of the project, and can be enhanced through integration of design and construction during the pre-construction stage. Constructability, or buildability (UK), is a major factor in measuring the success or failure of construction projects. Several constructability problems or barriers to accomplish a successful project may be addressed during the pre-construction stage, as well as the construction stage.

During the pre-construction stage, lack of construction knowledge/experience integration in the planning and design processes is a major factor that leads to constructability problems during the construction stage. This is because many design professionals have little experience in construction practices, local considerations, the availability of different resources, and are not necessarily experts in construction means and methods. During the procurement phase, contractor reliance on contract documents to visualize the construction process and decide on appropriate construction methods is limited to 2D drawings. This approach limits the contractor’s ability to be more familiar with the project at this early stage and prior to the start of actual construction. During the home construction stage, constructability issues such as safety, storage access, security, quality, and schedule updating are major factors that influence the accomplishment of a successful project.So enjoy the Virtual Design Construction.
