Webinar: One VDC Team, Three Projects, And AI-Powered Electrical Raceway Automation

Owen Electric's VDC team is used to modeling large-scale commercial projects like data centers, manufacturing, high-rise, and healthcare facilities. These are complex projects with tight coordination schedules, crowded overhead, and design models that show up with almost nothing for electrical to work from.

In this session, Owen's Director of Construction Technology, Jenny Blood, and two of her VDC engineers, Joey Welch and Robert Close, sit down with Augmenta to walk through how they used AI-powered conduit routing and coordination across three successive projects. They talk about what it actually looks like in practice, including the surprises, the workarounds, and what changed when they walked into a coordination meeting fully populated before anyone else was ready.

This is a casual conversation with three people who do the work every day, talking openly about what's helped and what it's changed.

In this session, you'll hear:

• How Owen's team went from zero overhead population to fully routed before the first coordination meeting
• What it meant to show up with 12 routing options instead of one, and how that shifted the conversation with the GCs
• How AI routing opened up time to focus on drawing reviews, submittal verification, and the data workflows the field team actually depends on
• What happens when a VDC engineer with no formal training runs his first generation by lunch, and has results ready for a project meeting the next morning
• Why electrical is no longer last on the totem pole in coordination, and how claiming space early changes everything
