Company
“Vicc Ltd.” was established in August 2015, evolving from its predecessor, “Computer Visualization,” which was founded in 2008 by our CEO, Kenji Watanabe.
Originally launched as a 3D technology-focused organization specializing in architectural visualization, the company has supported numerous renowned architects and innovative design projects.
Over time, we expanded our expertise from 3D visualization into the field of BIM (Building Information Modeling), building a comprehensive support structure that leverages information technology across all phases of construction—from planning and procurement to design, construction, fabrication, and facility management. Our goal has always been to enable holistic optimization of construction projects.
Today’s construction projects involve increasingly complex requirements and relationships among stakeholders.
At Vicc, we aim to enhance communication among all parties—including clients, designers, and contractors—through the power of digital technology, ultimately contributing to greater efficiency and improved quality across the entire project lifecycle.
