Benefits and Challenges of Applying Virtual Design and Construction (VDC)

Low levels of efficiency, low profit margins and problem in quality make construction companies discover methods to improve their information, interaction and communication management. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provides these tools to improve project processes. Virtual design an...
