When it comes to using technology to enhance project delivery, DPR’s guiding principle is to provide measurably more value in the form of higher predictability, less rework and reduced risk. That is where our virtual design and construction services come in.
The ability to optimize a design by “building” a digital prototype multiple times in the virtual world translates to greater accuracy and improved quality in the field. When it comes to using advanced technology to enhance construction project delivery, DPR’s guiding principle is to provide measurably more value in the form of higher predictability, less rework and reduced risk.
As a long-established leader in Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) tools and processes, we know that technology alone cannot deliver the level of results we have all come to expect. Our experience has proven that a combination of technology and collaborative ideology—such as integrated project delivery (IPD) or design-build—yields the greatest returns.

VDC ConstructionBenefits
Schedule
Certainty
Construction sites are seldom static, constantly reacting to the needs of parallel activities and constraints, so plans must be reviewed and adjusted regularly. DPR uses 4D visual planning to detect roadblocks and improve the overall sequence and flow of trades for various scopes of work. Using this type of virtual design in construction makes schedule constraints much easier to identify visually, promoting better sequencing, allowing for workflow adjustments, mitigating delays, and ensuring we can maintain planned productivity.
Increased
Productivity
In preconstruction, DPR leverages virtual model-based design integration management to identify and resolve design coordination issues, thereby mitigating rework and ensuring productivity in the field. During the construction operations phase, DPR uses model data for production planning as a form of risk analysis to find potential schedule gains or risks and general improvements in the workflow, resulting in increased schedule certainty. DPR strives to make data-driven scheduling decisions to validate and optimize production for all key pace-setting trades.
Quality
Control
DPR uses laser scanning during preconstruction for documenting and validating existing site and building conditions for tenant improvement projects, providing more reliable and accurate as-built information to assist with design development and scope validation. Identifying and correcting any inaccuracies with design documentation saves time and money by reducing re-work in the field during construction. DPR also uses laser scanning during construction, proactively ensuring high-quality by managing installation accuracy, tolerances and overall quality control, as well as maintaining accurate documentation of as-built conditions for closeout and handover.
