BIM / VDC · Forged in NYC · Now nationwide
Coordination sharp enough for NYC jobsites — now serving contractors nationwide.
Field-ready shop drawings in 10 business days · Quote in 1–2 business days · LOD 400 fab-ready model
VDClab. by MS works like your in-house drafting department: coordinated models, clash-free layouts, and fabrication-ready drawings across mechanical, piping, plumbing, electrical, and fire protection — every trade, built to install clean. Forged on NYC-metro jobsites, based in New Jersey, and serving contractors nationwide.
Build smarter. Build confident.
Why it pays off
Fewer clashes
Coordinated before you cut steel.
Faster fabrication
Spool, duct & trade sheets your shop builds from.
No rework
Caught in the model, not in the field.
We field verify before we draw
We confirm actual field conditions first, so what you install matches what’s there, not just the design intent.
Faster take-offs
Accurate quantities straight from the model, so your take-offs and material ordering move faster, with less waste.
What we do
We handle every MEP and fire protection discipline. Each one has its own page.
Shop & fabrication drawings to your standards and SMACNA.

In the field
When a project allows it we come out and 3D scan the space ourselves, then build the model against reality instead of against old plans. It is the step that makes our sets fit the first time.
3D site scanning available in NJ and NYC.
Trust
Led by a licensed P.E. in NJ, NY and FL.
If the drawings aren’t approved, we keep fixing them at no charge until they are — and if it’s still not right, you get your money back.
Like in-house
We act as your drafting department, on your standards, on every job.
Local & available
Modeling and drafting for contractors nationwide, with boots on site across NJ and NYC. We can get to a jobsite with almost no heads-up.
All trades under one roof
Coordinated in a single model, so there is no finger-pointing between trades.
Accuracy
Models and drawings that match the field.
Clear comms
You talk to people who understand the trade.
US-based PM on every job
50+ person production team

02
We model & coordinate
Build the model, run clash detection across all trades, resolve conflicts.
03
You get fabrication-ready drawings
Spool sheets, duct drawings, plumbing/electrical/FP sets and coordination drawings, all on VDClab templates. First area field-ready in 10 business days, LOD 400.
