What is 4D?
4D BIM, also known as construction sequencing simulation, is the process of adding an additional layer of scheduling data to a project information model. This extra layer of data can be contributed to various project components that will be built as the construction or installation process progresses. This allows for a step-by-step visualisation of the project’s progress. So the “time” would be considered a new dimension (3D models + time information = 4D).
The information related to time, site, design and logistics will be combined in a BIM 4D model, so it makes it easy to visualise each stage of the project and as a result, stakeholders can gain a holistic view of the entire process and stay on top of everything that is happening (or about to happen) on site to optimise planning, project management, and task execution.
4D BIM with Think Logic: Enhancing Construction Efficiency
At Think Logic, we are experts in 4D BIM. With 4D BIM, we go beyond the standard 3D models, incorporating time as the fourth dimension to provide a comprehensive view of your construction project.
Our 4D BIM services allow you to visualise and manage your project’s evolution over time. We integrate the construction schedule seamlessly with the 3D model, creating a dynamic digital representation. This powerful tool offers several benefits:
Enhanced Visualisation: 4D BIM provides stakeholders with a clear and dynamic visual representation of the entire construction project’s lifecycle. This makes it easier for both technical and non-technical team members to understand the project’s progress and potential challenges, leading to improved communication and collaboration.
Improved Project Planning:
The integration of time into BIM models allows for detailed project scheduling and sequencing. Project teams can create accurate construction schedules, optimise resource allocation, and identify potential clashes or conflicts in advance. This proactive planning reduces delays and costly rework.
Real-time Progress Monitoring:
4D construction enables real-time tracking of project progress against the planned schedule. Project managers can quickly identify deviations and take corrective actions, ensuring that the project stays on track and within budget.
Effective Resource Management:
By aligning 4D models with resource allocation, project teams can optimise labour, equipment, and material usage. This leads to efficient resource management, reduced waste, and cost savings.
Enhanced Risk Mitigation: 4D BIM allows for the assessment of potential risks and their impact on the project schedule. With this information, project teams can develop comprehensive risk mitigation strategies and contingency plans, minimising disruptions and enhancing project resilience.
