Model-based coordination that resolves conflicts before the field does.
Electrical designed and coordinated in Revit alongside the other trades, so the conflicts get found in the model instead of in the ceiling.
Every conflict caught in the model is a conflict that does not become a change order, a rework day, or a schedule slip. The value of BIM is not the model itself, it is that the coordination happens while moving a conduit run is a mouse drag rather than a crew and a demolition saw.
We model the electrical scope in Revit and coordinate it against the architectural, structural, and mechanical models as they develop. Clashes are identified, routed around, and resolved with the responsible trade rather than deferred, and the drawing set is produced from the coordinated model so the documents and the model agree.
For contractors building a prefabrication program, a coordinated model is the prerequisite: racks, assemblies, and rough-in packages can only be built off the floor when the routing is settled and the dimensions are trustworthy. The model is delivered with the drawings so the value carries into construction rather than ending at permit.
What it covers
- Revit electrical modeling

- Model delivery to the construction team
- LOD-appropriate modeling
Coordinated Revit model
The electrical model, coordinated against the other trades and delivered to the construction team.
Documents produced from the model
A drawing set generated from the coordinated model, so the documents and the model do not disagree.
Clash resolution record
What was found, and how each conflict was resolved and with which trade.
Prefabrication support
Routing and dimensions settled to the level a prefabrication program needs to build off the floor.

What is VDC in electrical engineering?
Virtual Design and Construction is the practice of building and coordinating a complete digital model of the work before it is installed. For electrical scope that means modeling distribution, lighting, controls, and fire alarm in Revit and resolving conflicts against the other trades in the model rather than in the field.
What is the difference between BIM and VDC?
BIM refers to the model and the information in it. VDC is the broader process of using that model to plan and coordinate the actual construction, including clash resolution, sequencing, and prefabrication. A model on its own is BIM; using it to change how the job gets built is VDC.
Do you deliver the Revit model to the contractor?
Yes. The coordinated model is delivered alongside the drawing set, so the coordination work carries into construction and supports prefabrication rather than ending when the permit set is issued.
How does model coordination support prefabrication?
Prefabrication only works when routing is settled and dimensions can be trusted. A coordinated model provides both, which is what lets racks, assemblies, and rough-in packages be built off the floor and installed as units.
