WHAT WE DO
HOW WE DO IT
We are capable of meeting the virtual design and construction needs of clients, as well
as providing project owners specialized services in SMART mapping and integration of
modeling and monitoring systems. We develop guidelines to show the architect how
they should model, identify and label information about major serviceable equipment.
Below is a listing of the services we offer worldwide:
WHO WE ARE Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) is not just computer-aided design software or the
latest industry trend. It’s a process that produces a digital representation of a building’s
physical and functional characteristics, as well as the surrounding underground utilities.
Walbridge Technologies uses VDC to deliver exacting design criteria, point out potential
clashes and help eliminate conflicts, while saving time and money.

The greater a facility’s efficiency, the higher an owner’s productivity and therefore, a lower cost to complete the work. By designing complex buildings virtually in real time, Walbridge can ensure high quality construction and production efficiency. Early modeling can help to develop different production scenarios, as well as identify possible clashes between multiple disciplines.
Campus planning usually means ensuring the proper space per occupant, as well as the proper equipment contained within the space. Wabridge thinks beyond that. By utilizing SMART mapping technology, we are able to extend campus planning to configuring underground sewer and utility lines, maximizing early planning and ensuring no construction interference.
We are at a pivotal point in building technology where it is now necessary to transition from traditional programming methodologies to incorporating cloud-based data management at the onset of planning to extend the a facility’s lifecycle. By employing a BIM Execution Plan during initial planning, guidelines and standards are established to extend owner’s dollar value in the long run.
John Jurewicz, AIA, LEED AP is a pioneer in the use of technology
in the construction industry. As the General Manager of Walbridge
Technologies LLC, he is vital in integrating VDC services that meet
client’s needs and surpass their expectations. In his 28 years of
experience, John has remained on the forefront of the technology
evolution; his knowledge is unmatched in the industry today.
AND WE HAVE THE EXPERT TO PROVE IT
WE KNOWVIRTUAL DESIGN CONSTRUCTION
Technology is changing the face of construction. Processes, tools and technology are
coming together in ways never before imagined and when assembled with strategic
intent, are providing considerable cost, efficiency and safety benefits to project teams
and owners. Our team of trained, experienced technologists harnesses the power of
today’s software and systems to help us plan and build safer and smarter. Here’s how.
BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM)
We develop tailored BIM execution plans for any project, as well as written guidelines
and standards to be followed by anyone developing BIM related to a project. With 3D
modeling, we bring one dimensional, paper-based design drawings to life and make
them relevant to the construction process.
CONSTRUCTABILITY MODELING
SMART MODELING
SPECIALTY TECHNOLOGY
Modeling allows us to detect clashes during the project’s design phase. Quickly resolving
issues before they become a problem in the field, we can determine the constructability
of a design before we ever break ground.
Walbridge uses SMART modeling to harness multiple models and depict how they relate
to each other. You can use the model for master planning or to prepare for your next
building phase. There’s a safety plus: this information can help security teams better
coordinate emergency response with municipalities.
In addition to program management, we can provide 6D (operations) and 7D (facility
management) modeling, dashboarding, energy modeling and laser scanning. We use
this technology to influence productivity and to improve safety.
