Field Status Tracker© gives trade contractors real-time project visibility inside the 3D model, backed by expert VDC/BIM consultancy and on-demand VDC talent when your team needs extra capacity.
FST© was designed for simplicity. Your PM and executives don't need to know what BIM means to get full project visibility. Just open the dashboard and the data is there.
If your team can navigate a website, they can use FST©. Status updates take seconds. Your authorized users are productive from day one, with no manuals, no IT setup, and no onboarding delays.
One canvas. Every active project. Live. Your executives see completion percentages, scope progress, and field status across the full portfolio, without making a single call to the field.
The Field Status Tracker© is custom-tailored to each trade. Your elements, your scopes, and your schedule are tracked in real time on your 3D model.
Track unitized systems, spandrel panels, storefront, and skylights by zone, floor, and elevation, from fabrication through final installation.
Panel-by-panel status tracking for composite panels, metal facades, louvers, and garage screen systems. Your PM knows exactly what's installed, what's on-site, and what's in fabrication before anyone asks.
Monitor framing progress by bay, level, and zone. Generate defensible visual documentation to support milestone reviews and progress reporting, so your team controls the narrative on every site visit.
Track pours, curing status, and structural milestones across your model. Give GCs and owners a live, color-coded view of structural progress.
Track MEP rough-in, above-ceiling coordination, and system commissioning milestones by zone and floor, synced to your BIM model in real time.
A custom-built application that puts your entire project status inside your 3D model: live, color-coded, and accessible from any browser. No proprietary hardware. No training required.
Each FST© variant is configured specifically for your trade and project before day one. Status definitions, scope categories, and element groupings are set up to match your actual workflow, so authorized users are productive from day one. No training sessions. No BIM background required.
Authorized users update status directly on the model, with every element color-coded in real time. Click any element to see its data, type, quantity, finish, and current status instantly.
Model data instantly feeds your company dashboard, creating a single canvas showing every active project with completion percentages, scope progress, and field status at a glance. Your executives see the full portfolio without making a single call. Drill into any project for element-level detail. Quantity summaries by scope, group, and finish tag are ready for GC meetings, owner updates, and milestone documentation. Reports are structured for direct integration with Power BI, enabling advanced analytics and cross-referencing with Autodesk Data Exchange for a fully connected project intelligence workflow.
Built on Autodesk's industry-standard viewer infrastructure, the same platform behind Autodesk Construction Cloud. Works with your existing BIM models. No conversion, no new licenses, no proprietary hardware.
Watch a curtain wall scope come to life as model elements move from planned to shipped, delivered, and installed, while the 3D view and project dashboard update together.

VDC BIM Metrics Group was founded by an architect and VDC/BIM leader who has lived the full project cycle, based on a simple premise: trade contractors deserve the same level of digital clarity that owners and GCs expect from design teams. We bridge the gap between the field and the boardroom, delivering real-time visibility, expert VDC/BIM strategy, and qualified talent to the contractors who build the built environment.
We treat BIM not just as Building Information Modeling, but as Business Information Management, a strategic platform for data-driven decisions across the full project lifecycle. Our network of vetted VDC/BIM professionals is available when you need them, scoped to your project.
When your project scales up, you need qualified VDC/BIM professionals who hit the ground running, not someone who needs six months to get up to speed.
Built on the trust and transparency established through the Field Status Tracker© and BIM Consultancy services, we connect you with vetted, field-proven BIM specialists exactly when you need them.
Every specialist in our network has been evaluated on real project experience, including BEP compliance, model coordination, CDE management, and field delivery.
Whether you need a BIM Coordinator for a single coordination phase or a full-time VDC Manager through project closeout, we match the engagement to your actual schedule.
Clients who know our work through the Field Status Tracker© and BIM Consultancy services already understand our quality standard. Talent placement is the natural next step.
Contract, part-time, or full-time. Project-based or ongoing. We structure the engagement around your project, not a staffing agency's billing model.
