If you're thinking about starting a new project we'd love to hear from you. We can add more value if we're brought in early.
Whether you're a seasoned expert or developing a new career, or just want learn more about the company, drop us a line.
We're lucky enough to be partnered up with some of BC's finest. We'd love to discuss the potential of working together.
The Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) division at True Mechanical provides virtual design, team organization and work processes to simulate the complexities of BIM construction before you start on-site.
VDC BIM CareersOur Building Information Management (BIM) construction services are part of our VDC division, which offers complete 3D virtual design of buildings and construction projects, along with workflow processes and team organization

Designing with VDC and BIM enables our clients to see projects in 3D to predict and plan for a variety of scenarios. Working with other trades, consultants, architects and engineers online, we can virtually build an entire project in a centralized model to anticipate any construction complexities before they occur.
Our skilled team has experience in both the contractor and consultant side of the business, and they understand that a collaborative and solution-oriented mindset is critical to success.
We create 3D models using BIM and VDC for all types of projects including residential low-rise wood-frame buildings, high-rise concrete towers, and commercial and institutional facilities.

Our team is trained in leading-edge software including M-Suite, Trimble, Revit, and Autodesk suite, plus 360-degree scanners using Matterport. Our technical proficiency enables us to provide solutions that are efficient, predictable and workable.
Our modellers have experience of in field construction techniques, which means our BIM team is stacked with subject-matter experts experienced in-field and in-office to ensure all of our projects are built True Constructible.
Planning ensures our projects are constructible. The visual representation of our True Constructible thinking is at the heart of what we do and gives us the foresight to create predictable projects.
Where it makes economic and engineering sense in our projects, we model and prefabricate water rooms, ring mains and risers to ensure efficiency and practicality while staying on spec and on budget.
We conduct a holistic design process when building 3D models for mechanical systems by using BIM for coordination, class detection and constructibility.
Using practical in-field knowledge, we layout precise canning, sleeving and insert locations. We also conduct design reviews and assist in preplanning, procurement and constructibility
