Virtual Design and Construction services powered by BIM and laser scanning
ZELUS operates a pure-play VDC and BIM services business—not a software vendor—using a deep Autodesk stack (Revit, Navisworks, BIM 360, Construction Cloud) plus Procore and Bluebeam to deliver as-builts, clash detection, and digital documentation for construction projects. The hiring mix (construction-heavy, with junior/senior split and active manager recruitment) and project list (BIM execution plans, VDC workflow integration, model accuracy) show a services org scaling delivery capacity while evaluating new tools to improve measurement and clash workflows.
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Phoenix with an office in New York, ZELUS is a services-led construction technology firm with ~200 employees. The company specializes in Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), Building Information Modeling (BIM), and as-built documentation—using laser scanning and 3D modeling to provide dimensional accuracy for architects, contractors, engineers, and owners. Revenue comes from project-based engagements where ZELUS reduces rework, improves labor efficiency, and enables prefabrication and off-site manufacturing by creating digital models and clash reports. The delivery model is hands-on: field teams use NavVis VLX and Bluebeam to capture and document physical spaces, while office teams execute BIM standards and integrate findings into construction planning.
ZELUS relies on Autodesk products (Revit, Navisworks, BIM 360, Construction Cloud, AutoCAD, Plant 3D), Procore for project management, Bluebeam for markup, and NavVis VLX for field laser scanning and capture.
Active initiatives include BIM execution plan standardization, VDC workflow integration into construction processes, model accuracy improvements, clash detection enhancement, and evaluation of new technologies to strengthen measurement and field coordination.
