4D Scheduling- Types of the 4D Schedule Models

You might have heard the terms “4D Schedule Models”, “4D Scheduling”, “4D BIM”, “4D BIM Modelling”, “4D Simulation”, and “4D BIM Planning.” For simplicity, let’s refer to these terms as “4D Scheduling”. But, what do we mean by “4D Scheduling”? What is 4D Scheduling? 4D Scheduling is simulating the planning sequence of construction activities and […]

4D Scheduling vs. Traditional Scheduling (Which one do you prefer?)

“The 4D Scheduling/4D BIM is a useless technique. It doesn’t add any benefits to Project Controls. Its main purpose is to visualize the construction schedule, resulting in extra fancy requirements which we can survive without”.  From my point of view, I always get confused when I hear these phrases and I really don’t understand how/why professionals judge the 4D scheduling in this way. I wonder what their source of information about the 4D scheduling comes […]

The Beginning of a 4D Journey

Over the past few months I’ve been working with our building team as it takes it’s 1st steps into the world of 4D scheduling. If you’re reading this, you probably agree with me that this is the way of the future. For those who aren’t familiar with the concept, 4D scheduling is the bringing together […]
