Abstract

The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry has shown low productivity levels, mainly due to the fragmentation between the agents involved. Given this, the industry is modernizing and implementing collaborative methodologies to improve the development of projects. One of them is the VDC (Virtual Design and Construction) methodology. VDC allows us to improve design, construction, operation, and maintenance management, changing paradigms within traditional processes. This research shows how implementing VDC can help to optimize the construction process time of a reinforced concrete reaction slab in a civil engineering laboratory. As a main result, an optimized process was developed, generating a 44-day reduction in the construction time of the reaction slab.
