Talk:Virtual design and construction

Removed from the Computer vision category

I removed this article from the Computer vision categorys since there is no information in the article which makes it obvious why it should be in the category. If someone can find a good reason and write something about it, it can reappear. --KYN (talk) 16:25, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Consider also Category:Applications of computer vision in the case that something is written about the connection. --KYN (talk) 17:12, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Construction Industry VDC Capable Companies

This list looks like advertising to me. All references to VDC capable companies should be removed from the article. Has the potential to become a VERY long list.Surfing bird (talk) 03:21, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

VDC project manager

"The production of a Building Information Model (BIM) for the construction of a project involves the use of an integrated multi-disciplinary performance model to encompass the building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, along with quantities and properties of the building components. The virtual design to construction project manager (VDC – also known as VDCPM) is a professional in the field of project management and delivery. The VDC is retained by a design build team on the clients’ behalf from the pre-design phase through certificate of occupancy in order to develop and to track the object oriented BIM against predicted and measured performance objectives. The VDC manages the project delivery through multi-disciplinary building information models that drive analysis, schedules, take-off, and logistics. The VDC is skilled in the use of BIM as a tool to manage and assess the technology, staff, and procedural needs of a project. In short the VDC is a contemporary project managing architect who is equipped to deal with the current evolution of project delivery. The VDC acts as a conduit to bridge time tested construction knowledge to digital analysis and representation. VDC position avoids the well intentioned failures created by competent managers who lack the knowledge to implement the technology for which they are entrusted. Recent economic conditions have placed a spot light on industry wide deficiency in the organization of architectural staff, the lack of interoperability of project generated information, and the amount of non-beneficial redundancy which eventually finds its way to the client through an inferior project with increased cost. The VDC fulfills a critical role in contemporary project delivery in part due to the single platform integration of sketch tools, massing, solid modeling, analysis, & rendering organized within a singular object change engine. Available technology removes the need for digital redundancies and file conversions at each stage of design. Information can be tracked and managed from inception to project delivery with the use of a qualified VDC who secures the clients return on investment by tracking stated project performance objectives. The development of virtual design tools from 1957 to 2007 has created a digital landfill of applications, many whose continued use has hindered progress all the while accelerating Architect, Engineering, Contractor costs without increased accuracy, efficiency, or integration of disciplines."

VDC-managed BIM project model

"Virtual design to construction BIM models are virtual because they show computer-based descriptions of the project. The BIM project model emphasizes those aspects of the project that can be designed and managed, i.e., the product (typically a building or plant), the organization that will define, design, construct and operate it, and the process that the organization teams will follow, or POP. These models are logically integrated in the sense that they all can access shared data, and if a user highlights or changes an aspect of one, the integrated models can highlight or change the dependent aspects of related models. The models are multi-disciplinary in the sense that they represent the Architect, Engineering, contractor (AEC) and owner of the project, as well as relevant sub disciplines. The models are performance models in the sense that they predict some aspects of project performance, track many that are relevant, and can show predicted and measured performance in relationship to stated project performance objectives. Some companies now practice the first steps of BIM modeling, and they consistently find that they improve business performance by doing so."

yes, I posted those quotes and cited the source as can be seen in your copy/paste has captured the citation 171.67.83.254 (talk) 18:56, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

OK, I can't see where I posted on this page, but maybe I mentioned something in an edit-summary for the article overleaf. These direct quotations would be much better broken up, and partly paraphrased. Bit of a skilled chore, I'm afraid.

WP:MOSLINK discourages the linking of common terms, and I see plenty of examples here. A fine line sometimes has to be drawn, but some are obviously inappropriate : not building or plant or organization, definitely; nor anything in "... models are multi-disciplinary in the sense that they represent the Architect, Engineering, contractor (AEC) and owner of the ...". Is the Business process article too general as a link target? Perhaps a section link would be more useful. Feel free to ask questions. Thanks. Tony (talk) 03:13, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
