How The Weitz Company Uses Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) to Plan Projects

Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) helps The Weitz Company bring projects to life before construction even begins. By working in a digital environment, teams can visualize how systems fit together, validate schedules, and identify challenges early, setting a clear path for execution from pursuit through final turnover. VDC supports this process with models, 4D simulations, and logistics planning that give project teams a shared understanding of the work ahead. 

Using tools like reality capture, drone photography, and LiDAR scanning, the VDC team documents existing conditions and tracks progress throughout construction. These tools are especially valuable on complex aviation projects, where maintaining operations and a positive passenger experience is critical. By turning data into actionable insights, VDC strengthens coordination, supports safer planning, and helps teams make confident decisions to keep projects moving forward.
