About VDC Stack

Why we built VDC Stack

Built from experience. Driven by real industry challenges. We're building the BIM tools we wish we'd had, and we want to build them with the industry.

Our vision

To be the essential toolset for VDC and Digital Delivery teams. We turn complex BIM standards, workflows and project data into simple, intelligent systems, so projects are delivered faster and more consistently.

Introduction and mission

Built from experience. Driven by real industry challenges.

After more than a decade of developing, implementing and managing BIM projects, we've seen firsthand where projects struggle.

Our mission is to create BIM management tools that benefit the industry and make VDC cohesive and easy to understand and execute.

The information management problem

The problem usually isn't the technology.

More often than not, the problem isn't the technology. It's how information is planned, managed, shared and used throughout the project lifecycle.

Why BIM Execution Plans

One recurring challenge stood out: the BEP.

BEPs are intended to guide how teams collaborate, exchange information and deliver projects. Yet too often, they become documents created at the beginning of a project, only to be buried beneath competing priorities.

We believe a BEP should be more than a document. It should be a practical, actionable plan that helps guide the entire project lifecycle.

That thinking led us to develop our BEP Builder, drawing on international and regional standards to help teams translate information requirements into clear responsibilities, workflows and deliverables.

From BEP Builder to VDC Stack

The opportunity was much bigger than a single tool.

But we quickly realized the opportunity was much bigger than a single tool.

VDC Stack was born from a simple idea: make BIM, VDC and project information management easier.

Software-independent by design

We fill the gaps between the platforms you already use.

We're building practical, reliable tools that fit into existing workflows, regardless of the software or platforms teams choose to use.

Our goal isn't to replace the systems professionals already rely on, but to help them work more effectively.

Shaped by industry feedback

We don't have all the answers.

We have plenty of ideas in development, and we're actively exploring and validating new ways to address the challenges our industry faces.

We also know we don't have all the answers. That's why we welcome feedback, ideas and collaboration from the professionals who will actually use these tools.

We're not trying to change the software you use. We're building the tools that make it easier to do your job.

Our philosophy

Tools that fit the way you already work.

Automate the repetitive

Naming files, checking standards, organizing data and preparing reports. Hand the admin to the tools and give the hours back to the project.

Enforce your standards

BEPs, naming conventions, ISO 19650 and your internal delivery requirements, checked consistently across teams, offices and consultants.

Fit the stack you have

Revit, Autodesk Forma, spreadsheets, PDFs. Our tools work around the systems you already use instead of replacing them.

Built with practitioners

We test with the BIM and VDC professionals who'll use the tools, and their feedback decides what we build next.
