The construction industry has acknowledged the benefits of using model-based construction process & now it is time to take it to the next level. 4D BIM is a promising technological advancement in improving the planning, co-ordination, safety & monitoring of construction projects along with savings in time and cost investment. Implementing 4D BIM, can revolutionize the planning and management process of any construction project.<br><br>Want to read detailed information? Visit - http://bit.ly/2uOwZ3I

Transforming your Construction Projects Scheduling & Construction Sequencing with 4D BIM

Why Construction Projects Lag Behind Conflicts & Clashes Lack of Coordination Inaccurate Planning Leads to increased change orders, completion delays and escalating budgets Leads to communication and information gaps between multiple stakeholders. Lead to conflicts and errors at different stages of the project
4D BIM is the solution Drawings 2D • Addsanextradimension to 3D model - TIME • Includes lead time, time taken to construct/install,timeneededtoharden/cure/becomeoperational &thesequenceofinstallation. • Developaccurateprojectplan with time information federated in the shared information model. • Sequentialconstructiondevelopmentstagescanbeseen& monitored. • Visualappearanceoftheprojectateverystagecanbeshown.

Planning Coordination Benefits of Implementing 4D BIM Monitoring Clash Detection Safety
Planning • Stakeholders can get in-depth visualization of every stage of the project from early design to completion. • Get information on lead time, construction sequence, inter-dependencies of different areas of the project, duration of installation etc. • Makes it easier for stakeholders to ensure the required tools and materials reach site on time. • Knowing the schedule in advance helps save time of construction team. • Detailed scheduling facilitates effective financial & space planning. Sequencing construction process BACK
Coordination Improved stakeholder communication • Updating latest project information about construction sequencing to team members and stake holders becomes easier with prototypes. • Reduces meeting durations spent on finding issues and clashes. • Productivity of stakeholder meetings increase as they can focus on idea generation and construction development. • Easier coordination between office and site staff. BACK
Monitor construction progress Monitoring • Tracking activities on large scale projects become easier. • 4D scheduling of construction sequences helps tracing and recording all activities and material on site. • 4D BIM with AI platform, point cloud and 360 degree photographs can help track activities on the construction site. • Visual comparison of what is planned against what is done on site in real time. BACK
Clash Detection • Shared information model increases transparency & accountability of stakeholders. • Federating time information in the model helps detect potential clashes even before the construction begins. • Helps avoid costly construction rework. • Design changes can be made beforehand to ensure delivery according to the overall schedule of the project. Reduced clashes, faster resolution BACK
Safety • Helps avoid situations which may lead to site accidents. • Safety against data breaches. • Knowing the location of materials, equipments and workers helps in ensuring safety of workers. Site & data safety BACK
Challenges in implementing 4D BIM Financial Investment Requiresconsiderable amount of investment at the initial stage of planning. Staff Training Stakeholders need to train their staff to make optimum use of this technology. Resource Availability 4D BIM Implementation requires resources with knowledge of executing such a program. Others Project Type Data Exchange Procedures Size of the company
Benefits of 4D BIM far outweigh the challenges CASE STUDY
case study Architectural firm in Manchester completes construction of multistoried building in record time of 2 months • Significantly reduced rework • Enhanced profitability • Overcoming challenges such as: • Modeling exact elements of building inter-woven at five different levels. • Lack of dimensions for pipe and systems in MEP drawings. • Solution delivered by TrueCADD • A clash free federated 4D BIM model using Revit and NavisWorks. Additional delivery included a sequencing video having rendered model using 3Ds Max.
