Why DBM Vircon
Cutting Edge Technology
Innovation in thought and tools (like Tekla, Prosteel, Revit, Plant 3D, Navisworks, and iConstruct) are fundamental to our approach, and critical to the accuracy of your project.
Multi-Disciplined Approach
DBM Vircon regularly collaborates in multi-disciplinary teams and environments, working alongside engineers, fabricators, and civil teams to deliver the best possible outcome for your project.
Over 55 Years’ Experience
With experience on global projects since 1964, and the tenure of many of our people spanning over 30 years, DBM Vircon has the expertise, systems, and capabilities to deliver your entire project.
Global Presence
With offices around the world, we offer 24-hour support – when our Perth office closes, our London office opens. This means we can meet the tightest of schedules and mitigate delays.
Cost Confidence
By eradicating clashes and design errors early on, rework and delays are significantly reduced, costs are confirmed in advance, and highly accurate fabrication quotes can be provided without risk of variations.
Schedule Certainty
Our methodology avoids duplication of modeling activities typically experienced in the traditional 2D modeling environment. With a more accurate design completed earlier, schedule certainty is improved and fabrication commences earlier.

One of our best engineering services suppliers
“Our experience in doing business with DBM Vircon has always been an enjoyable one. So much of the work is done on the front end of a project that is critical to its success, that the quality and accuracy that DBM Vircon provide is critical to our own success. They have continually approached our projects with proficiency, and the level of responsiveness they offer during those crucial times is reassuring.

A partner committed to exploring new options and delivering economical solutions
“Barton Malow has been developing a new delivery model for complex structural steel projects and has found in DBM Vircon a partner committed to exploring new options and delivering economical solutions. DBM Vircon was selected as the best qualified firm based upon a bid and qualifications selection process. With their help, we retained responsibility for performance of the connection design and detailing. Together we developed a highly detailed set of bid documents for fabrication and erection which significantly advanced the schedule. Throughout the project DBM Vircon has played a vital role in recognizing the impact of significant design changes and working with the entire project team to find ways to recover any schedule impacts that these created. DBM Vircon’s core technical competence, flexibility and commitment to economy have been and continue to be key parts of our team’s success!”
One of the most comprehensive BIM projects in the world
“Queen’s Wharf is arguably one of the most comprehensive BIM projects in the world today and is an excellent example of how digital technologies are improving traditional design construction and facilities management.”
Their ability to easily manage the complexities associated with retrofitting a historic 90-year-old bridge greatly exceeded my expectations
“It is impossible to imagine the Peace Bridge Rehabilitation project going as well without DBM Vircon’s direct involvement. Their ability to easily manage the complexities associated with retrofitting a historic 90-year-old bridge greatly exceeded my expectations. Throughout the entire detailing process, I was continuously astonished by their modeling capabilities and attention to detail. It was truly a pleasure working with them and look forward to future projects.”
In-depth knowledge of steel fabrication and erection based on experience
“DBM Vircon’s quality work and sensitivity to fast track schedules help make projects a success. Their willingness to accommodate fabricators & erectors specific needs coupled with timely submittal schedules is also evident. Their in-depth knowledge of steel fabrication and erection is obviously founded on a sound base of experience.”
With 4 towers, an integrated resort including gaming and entertainment, 2000 keys across hotel and residential, and an evolving procurement strategy, we had a very unique opportunity on our hands.
“When Destination Brisbane Consortium won the bid to develop and deliver Queens Wharf Brisbane, we knew we would require comprehensive document control and digital tools to ensure successful project completion and handover to operations. Due to the complexity of the project and a requirement to manage the facility for the next 99 years, integration of Digital Engineering processes from project inception to Facilities Management was a no brainer. DBM Vircon wrote the project DE strategy, briefed design phase consultants, are managing and federating the day to day delivery of 1000’s of models in varying formats, and monitoring the contractors’ deliverables to ensure the Facilities Management requirements are achieved. They are managing all of the above while providing us unrivaled transparency into the project’s development throughout the design and construction process.”
DBM Vircon brought a level of vision and smarts to the table that has put our project on the leading edge of how large-scale infrastructure projects like ours build and utilise 3D models.
“Cross River Rail Development Authority went to the market with an ambitious scope of works for BIM, GIS and Gamification. DBM Vircon brought to the project a multi-talented team with diverse experiences to deliver leading edge services. From a digital strategy, specifications, and management plans to a Smart City database proposal, model preparation, federation, gamification, virtual reality and polished communications products - DBM Vircon and their partners took the initiative and were able to deliver. They created credible, bespoke technology solutions despite tight timelines, as well as being able to integrate into traditional major infrastructure procurement and delivery team processes.”
The DBM Vircon Visualization team came recommended to my team from colleagues at BHP, having done animations before on similar projects.
“We were looking for a new, bespoke way to visually demonstrate mining approaches for internal use. The team at DBM Vircon worked collaboratively with us to quickly pull together multiple versions and accommodated with many revisions and last-minute changes. Their agile delivery style was complemented by their expert advice around what would work, and what wouldn’t in the context of the end animation. Our experience on this project very positive and overall, the team was happy with the final animation produced.”
