CVE VDC/Prefabrication Capabilities

In-house VDC/BIM team
CVE has a robust, in-house VDC/BIM team. We are dedicated to utilizing leading edge technology and practices to identify constructability issues before anyone picks up a shovel. Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) provides building information modeling (BIM) solutions that uses digital tools to create virtual models of buildings. These digital models are then evaluated prior to breaking ground, allowing project teams to optimize the way a building is constructed. This advanced technology provides opportunities to fabricate off the virtual model and greatly improve the construction process throughout the project’s lifespan.

Capabilities:
- 2D contract drawings translated into a 3D model
- Identify and integrate prefabrication and off-site construction opportunities and follow them from conception to installation
- Provide quality-controlled markups to our VDC team and the same high-quality shop drawings to the field team
- Communicate with and train field personnel on VDC process, setting appropriate expectations for anticipated deliverable
- On-site presence and support for the first-in-place install of any prefab item and constant communication with the field teams so that the process is clear, predictable, and repeatable
- Synthesize in-process feedback from the first-in-place install and continuously improve processes, products, and procedures based on field input
- Survey layout for precise placement derived from a coordinated model
- Provide detailed and accurate as-built documentation utilizing survey equipment
- Electrical equipment coordination with clearances per code
- Hanger coordination and install sheets
Prefabrication and off-site construction
Currently, 40,000 sq ft of our existing facility is dedicated to VDC and prefabrication. To support expansion, we are breaking ground on a new 100,000 sq ft facility that will house these and additional operations. Our dedicated team of professionals take pride in their work, paying great attention to detail manufacturing assemblies or sub-assemblies off-site and delivering those assembled kits to the job sites ‘just-in-time’. These efforts, along with utilizing lean manufacturing practices, maximize the productivity of our skilled labor, minimize material and labor costs, and help jobs keep up with compressed job schedules and trade stacking.

Capabilities:
- Underground assemblies
- Threaded GRC nipples ½”-6”
- Pre-bent large bore (2”– 6”) and small-bore (1/2”-1-1/2”) conduit
- Hanger assemblies
- Wall rough install boxes
- Electrical panel assemblies and supports
- Engraved tags/labels
- Pull boxes with knockouts for conduit
- Custom templates for in-wall box layouts
- Engineered products (i.e. temp power & site lighting)
- Project specific requests
