Abstract
The construction industry is an engine of economic and social development; however, it has grown the least in terms of productivity in comparison with other industries. Furthermore, it is characterized by inefficiencies that lead to time and cost overruns. This research seeks to optimize the execution time of a multipurpose building's concrete columns, beams, and slabs by applying the Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) methodology. The VDC framework was developed to establish the client's objectives, the project's objectives, production metrics, and controllable factors. As a result, 60 possible clashes among 2 disciplines (structure & MEP) were identified before construction and solved in a collaborative environment. In addition, the execution time of the structure's concrete beams, slabs, and columns was shortened by 37% compared to the baseline from the execution of the first work lot.
