Using models to plan the construction itself. A term you will meet constantly in job postings and large construction companies. VDC is the management approach that wraps around BIM: using virtual models to plan the construction itself - coordination, schedules, site logistics and budget - before anyone reaches the field.

If BIM is the information and the model, VDC is how the project team uses them to make execution decisions. In practice, a "BIM coordinator" role at a contractor is very close to VDC work.
