At SipForm, we believe that virtual design and construction (VDC) is the future of the building industry. VDC is the use of technology to create a 3D representation of a building or structure before it is actually built. This allows us to design homes virtually, export the data to our factory where all components are precisely manufactured, and then install them on-site. In other words, it's a File-to-Factory-to-Site process that results in a ready-to-install package.

How it works

From the moment we receive a design from your Architect or Designer, our team can rapidly form up a 3D model using our parametric components. Even from an initial sketch design, we can model, cost and provide feedback on potential saving measures quickly and easily.

We’ve worked to develop a system that is the best available in the world, one that has simplicity at its core! Everything from our 3D modelling system, data export, labelling, fabrication, transport and installation, all contribute to a neat holistic package that saves time and hassle in every one of these processes. Our system is efficient in reducing time in delivery, time on-site, time and costs in the reduction of waste headed to landfill.

With a fully pre-tested design, we can manufacture, deliver and complete the installation of all walls to an average sized home within two weeks of the order being placed.

Avoiding errors

Not only does this system allow you to build homes faster and more efficiently, but it also allows us to gather data that can be used to improve the design process. For example, by modeling a home in 3D, we can accurately calculate the amount of material required and the costs associated with each component. This information can then be used to optimise the design and make modifications before construction even begins. Additionally, because every component is precisely manufactured in a factory setting, there is significantly less waste and fewer errors on site.‍‍‍

Ready to build

If you're looking for faster production times, lower costs, less waste, and fewer errors—VDC is for you! Virtual design and construction is changing the way we build homes—and for the better. If you're considering building your dream home soon, be sure to ask your builder about incorporating VDC into their process so you can reap all these benefits (and more). You won't regret it!
