As design-build delivery continues to evolve, Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is playing an increasingly vital role in shaping collaboration, efficiency, and innovation on projects of all sizes. To help design-build teams fully understand and harness the potential of VDC, DBIA has released a new free resource — The VDC Project Leader’s Role & Responsibilities on Design-Build Projects.
A Framework for VDC Done Right
This comprehensive primer outlines the breadth and depth of knowledge required of a VDC Project Leader to realize VDC Done Right. More than a technology manager, the VDC Leader acts as the central connector—aligning people, process, and technology throughout every stage of the project.
From early planning through execution, the VDC Leader ensures that digital tools and collaborative workflows support the project’s overall design and construction goals. By fostering strong communication and coordination among architects, engineers, builders, and owners, this role is key to achieving the outcomes that define successful design-build projects:
Design excellence
Higher quality and productivity
Improved lifecycle cost performance
