CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY
Virtual design and construction , in broad strokes , refers to the practice of using digital tools to drive real value in the construction process . It ’ s a trend that ’ s long been transforming the industry , and one which DPR embraces wholeheartedly . “ First and foremost , our role is really to try and innovate in the areas that we can control such as construction technology and best construction practices . And that ’ s where we ’ ve had the greatest success , whether it ’ s in the field of virtual design and construction , or prefabrication , or integrating project teams and improving collaboration .”
Digital technology is a hallmark of the firm ’ s approach , but it is always used purposefully . “ It ’ s all really about collaboration and providing that single source of truth that the whole team can go to and talk through . Things like building information modeling and consulting , and then execution . We use model-based quantity takeoffs for our estimating . We then use the model to generate prefabrication processes and go straight from the model into manufacturing .”
