4Dscheduling
4D scheduling is the practice of integrating a time dimension with a three-dimensional building information model (BIM) to create a dynamic representation of construction sequences. By linking schedule elements to model objects, 4D scheduling turns the static geometry of a project into an animated timeline that shows when and where activities occur, enabling better visualization of the planned work.
The typical workflow starts with a work breakdown structure and a construction schedule that defines activities,
Uses and benefits include improved visualization of construction sequencing, clash and logistics analysis, resource planning, and
Limitations include dependence on model quality, data interoperability, and the need for skilled personnel and integrated
