    Mortenson Construction    		Virtual Design & Construction Advances

    There have been many discussions at SAME events and in the Industry about 3D modeling and Building Information Modeling (BIM).  However, most Federal owners and contractors aren't aware of the significant advances being made in Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) that are beyond just 3D and BIM capabilities.  The intent of the presentation is to present some examples of the VDC capabilities being used on sophisicated commercial projects today, that would stimulate discussion on where VDC should apply in the future in the Federal market.
