VDC & Off-site Construction | O'Connell Electric

About our VDC & Off-site Construction Services

At O’Connell Electric, we leverage technology and innovative strategies to deliver exceptional results through our Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) and Off-Site Construction services. From advanced Level 500 BIM modeling to full-scale prefabrication and material kitting, our approach prioritizes efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness. These tools and processes enable us to meet the unique needs of each project while maintaining our commitment to quality and innovation.

Virtual Design & Construction (VDC)

Our VDC services integrate technology with expert planning to optimize every stage of your project. Utilizing Level 400 BIM modeling, we create highly detailed, data-rich virtual models of your project. These models allow for enhanced visualization, clash detection, and efficient coordination across all disciplines. The result? Fewer on-site surprises, minimized rework, and a streamlined path from design to construction.

Virtual Design

We provide precise visualization, clash detection, and seamless coordination across all trades. Our design process ensures every element is meticulously planned, reducing errors, minimizing rework, and optimizing efficiency from design to construction.

Laser Scanning

Accurate data is the backbone of every successful project. Our advanced laser scanning capabilities capture precise measurements and create highly detailed 3D representations of existing conditions. These scans enable effective planning, retrofit design, and quality control, ensuring every element of your project fits exactly as intended.

OFF-SITE CONSTRUCTION

Our off-site construction services create efficiency by bringing key project elements into a controlled environment. From prefabrication and material kitting to metal fabrication, we can streamline the construction process before materials ever reach a job site. This approach minimizes congestion on site, reduces waste, and ensures consistent quality, all while maintaining project schedules.

Prefabrication

Prefabrication is a game-changing element of off-site construction, and we’ve mastered its full potential. By assembling components in a controlled environment, we improve quality, reduce waste, and save valuable time during on-site installation. This not only accelerates the construction timeline but also enhances safety by minimizing the number of workers on-site for complex assemblies.

Material Kitting

With material kitting, we provide a seamless, organized approach to delivering exactly what your project needs, when and where it’s needed. By pre-packaging materials and supplies for specific tasks, we improve workflow efficiency and reduce downtime, keeping your project on schedule and within budget.

Trade Collaboration

Our 20,000-square-foot prefabrication shop is designed with collaboration in mind. We can partner with other trades and subcontractors to maximize efficiency and coordination for complex projects. With a configurable layout and ample space, our facility can adapt to meet the unique needs of your project.

Metal Fabrication

Our in-house metal fabrication capabilities further enhance the efficiency of your project. With a focus on precision workmanship, we deliver custom-fabricated components that meet the exact specifications of your design. This not only ensures quality but also reduces the dependency on external suppliers, giving us greater control over timelines and costs.
