- 4D Planning
4D BIM involves time-related information being linked to different components of the Building Information Model. Specific elements of work, including details on procurement, construction and installation period are all part of the 4D Model.
This approach to project controls and scheduling provides unparalleled graphical representations of schedules. Whether it is for Development Schedules, Working Schedules or for Forensic Analysis, 4D Planning allows traditional Gantt charts to be better communicated to all project team members and stakeholders to capture enhanced feedback, achieve greater clarity, reduced project risk and a develop a more robust and commercially secure project plan.
“4D is the natural progression of the planning process in construction and engineering. It is a highly effective tool that should be used strategically on projects where it clearly adds value. The modern planning professional should be able to demonstrate and readily deploy 4D capabilities.”
Glentworth Group planners are ready to support pre-contracts and delivery teams develop 4D models that are tailored to value add. The emphasis is on targeted visual representation of key works, to ensure multiple parties can gauge a deeper understanding of the programme and validate logic and sequencing.
