Hire VDC Engineer

Pricing with smartbrain.io is designed to be transparent and flexible, mirroring the advantages of staff augmentation over traditional staffing. When you Hire VDC Engineer talent from us you pay a simple all-inclusive hourly or monthly rate that already covers payroll taxes, benefits, hardware, and management overhead. Rates start 40–60 % below typical U.S. contractor costs, yet you still receive senior-level specialists who have cleared our 5-stage technical vetting. We offer volume discounts for larger teams, fixed-price sprints for clearly scoped deliverables, and the option to convert a contractor to a full-time employee after a defined term. A dedicated account manager prepares a detailed pricing sheet during the discovery call so you know the exact spend before a single hour is billed.

Intellectual-property protection is embedded in every stage of our engagement model. Each Hire VDC Engineer signs a strict NDA and confidentiality agreement that is co-signed by smartbrain.io, making us jointly liable. Workstations are company-issued, encrypted, and monitored by enterprise-grade endpoint protection. Revit, Navisworks, and BIM 360 accounts are provisioned within your tenant so data never leaves your cloud. We enforce least-privilege access and rotate credentials every 30 days. Our contracts grant you full and exclusive ownership of all BIM models, families, and documentation produced. Independent third-party security audits and ISO 27001-compliant policies further guarantee that your proprietary workflows remain safe.

Yes. We maintain a global talent pool but assign engineers whose working hours overlap with your core schedule by at least four hours to facilitate real-time stand-ups, model reviews, and coordination calls. When you Hire VDC Engineer resources from smartbrain.io you can specify preferred time windows, weekend coverage, or night-shift support. Our coverage spans U.S., EMEA, and APAC zones, letting you choose follow-the-sun handoffs or full-day overlap according to project demands.

Contracts are deliberately simple: month-to-month with a 14-day opt-out clause, or fixed-term statements of work starting at three months. You can scale headcount up or down with five business days' notice. If you decide to convert a contractor to permanent staff, we credit up to two months of fees toward the placement buy-out. All agreements include service-level objectives for responsiveness, quality, and model-delivery cadence, ensuring your in-house team always knows what to expect.

Every applicant passes our proprietary 5-stage process: résumé screening, live technical interview with a senior VDC engineer, Revit/Navisworks skills test, English-fluency check, and a cultural-fit assessment. Fewer than 3 % of applicants are accepted. This means when you Hire VDC Engineer profiles from smartbrain.io you receive only senior-level specialists who can immediately add value instead of spending weeks ramping up.

We provide a no-risk 14-day trial period. If performance expectations are not met we replace the engineer within seven days at no additional cost. Our replacement guarantee extends for the entire engagement, giving you confidence and continuity on every VDC project.

Most clients schedule their discovery call, approve a shortlist the next day, and conduct first interviews within 72 hours. Onboarding is typically completed in two business days, meaning you can Hire VDC Engineer talent and have them committing code to your BIM 360 repository within a week—far faster than the six-to-eight weeks required for in-house hiring.
