The whole idea
We become your drafting department
That’s the whole idea. VDClab. by MS works as if we were sitting right next to you — an extension of your company, not an outside vendor you hand a file to and hope. Same standards, same team, on every job.
You get the capacity and precision of a full BIM/VDC department without carrying one on payroll.
Who we are
The BIM/VDC arm of MS Systems
VDClab. by MS is the BIM/VDC and shop-drawings arm of the MS Systems family, based in New Jersey. We turn contractors’ plans into precise 3D models and fabrication-ready shop drawings across every trade — mechanical/HVAC ductwork, process and mechanical piping, plumbing, electrical, and fire protection with hydraulic calculations — every trade, built to install clean.
Expert, but practical — precision made human.
Local
Local, available, and we sound like it
We cut our teeth in the toughest coordination market in the country — NYC. Now we bring that same install-clean discipline to contractors nationwide.
We’re a New Jersey team, on site across NJ and NYC — and when a job needs it, we can get to a site on short notice. You get GC-ready coordination from people who know the trade.
US-based project manager on every job · 50+ person production team · Tools: Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, Trimble SysQue · NJ-based MEP engineering firm, PE-licensed in NJ, NY, FL.
Contractors we work with: Quality Sheet Metal · Mastro Mechanical · Centrifugal · Contemporary Plumbing · Trematore.
We know the jurisdictions, the GCs, and the way work actually gets built — so working with us feels familiar, not like handing your job to a faraway drafting mill.
How we work
Four steps, every job
01
Share your plans
Send drawings, a model, or a markup and we’ll tell you what we need. Need existing conditions? We can 3D scan and verify the site first.
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.
04
Build with confidence
Signed-off coordination and drawings your crew can build straight from.
Every set comes out on standardized VDClab drawing templates, so your drawings look and read the same across trades and projects.
The team
People who have been on a jobsite
We talk like people who have been on a jobsite, because clear communication saves as much time as clean drawings. You get the same crew on every job, working to your standards.
Based in New Jersey. Nationwide drawing service; 3D scanning and site visits in NJ and NYC.
