VEC provides electrical trade contractors with high-quality BIM & VDC services. Our services include producing 3D models of electrical security, power, fire alarm, lighting, telecom, and internet systems. In addition to electrical BIM modeling, our expertise covers designing electrical rooms, branch conduits, electrical wiring, power switches, outlets, and more.

BIM&VDC for Electrical Contractor

As the validation of digital BIM documents requires no significant effort, the electrical contractor may be more confident in the electrical plans’ accuracy. Our validated 3D models allow for finishing prefabrication work faster. The coordination and precision of our BIM & VDC services allow electrical trade contractors to apply design validation to prepare a load schedule to measure the power the installation needs. Using BIM for electrical design even helps contractors calculate voltage drops and develop cable tray routes.

BIM for electrical contractors is also advantageous because of the virtual mockups developed. They show the positioning of tech equipment, fire alarms, power systems, and other types of electrical infrastructure. Therefore, the electrical trade contractor can:

Get a visualization of the installation’s assembly sequence

Analyze the connection between particular objects

Ensure that the end product meets customer expectations

Improve the review process

Reduce time and costs

See projects

Services and Capabilities

As a reliable BIM partner, VEC provides world-class services for general electric contractors, electrical utility contractors, low-voltage trades, etc. With robust software solutions like Revit and Navisworks and BIM management tools, we use the customer’s project documentation to create well-detailed electrical BIM models

Redlining & Preplanning

After receiving engineering documents, our technicians use 2D redlines to create 3D BIM models. We examine single-line diagrams and feeder schedules to lay out distribution systems and define the flow of home runs and branch systems while preserving the original design.

BIM Modeling & Coordination

VEC’s specialists analyze proposed designs, identify possible issues, and suggest how to strengthen construction performance. Such constructability efforts also include minimizing onsite work and optimizing system routing, which reduces construction costs and boosts satisfaction.

Shop / Installation Drawings

We help create clear building installation documents depending on a coordinated, clash-free model and cooperate with the field team to produce install packages. VEC also develops shop and installation drawings for electrical general contractors that deal with prefabrication.

BIM In-House Plug-In Development

Prefabrication, Spool Sheets, & BOM

The team provides customers with comprehensive BIM models that involve their means and methods, system routing, and prefabrication preferences. After "Sign-off," all trades are locked into this routing, and installation proceeds based on the drawings created from the model.

FAQ

What are examples of electrical contractor services?

The most popular services general electric contractors offer for commercial and residential projects are high- & low-voltage, design-build, telecommunication & security, fire alarms, etc.

What is the purpose of an electrical contractor?

Companies providing electrical contractor services traditionally install, maintain, and repair electrical systems. That involves low-voltage systems for public spaces and business offices and high-voltage ones for power plants, data centers, and other large-scale industrial buildings.

What is the difference between a contractor and an electrician?

Although electricians and contractors work with the same systems, their roles differ. An electrician is typically responsible for performing physical electrical work on-site. But when it comes to contractors, electrical ones represent businesses specializing in designing, installing, and maintaining electrical systems in construction projects.
