4D Virtual Construction Planning
4D Virtual Construction Planning
Construction planning & monitoring plays an important role in achieving the goal of the project. However, developing and communicating through a traditional 2D schedule is the most complicated challenges for construction project team. This problem can be resolved by creating 4D model, which consist of project schedule linked with 3D BIM model of the project. The most significant benefits of 4D model is to visualization of construction sequence of work and better communication among multidisciplinary project teams. 4D Model also gives you a visual status of Planned vs Actual making it easier to grasp and allowing to take important decisions faster.
Approach
- Capture Customer's Needs, Define 4D VDC Model Management Process, Selection of Software's
- Collect Drawing & Documents & Defining Construction Methodology
- Creating or Acquiring Project Schedule & 3D BIM Model, Creating Baseline 4D VDC Model
- Reviewing & Explaining the Construction Sequence with Project Teams & Stakeholders
- Updating Progress & Comparing Plan Vs Actual, Suggesting Alternate to Recover Delay & Cost Overrun
Engagement Model
- A Fixed Price For Developing The Project 4D VDC Model Based On The Work To Be Done
- Engagement On Time & Material Basis For Developing / Management of 4D Model Of The Project
- Deployment Of Dedicated Team According To The Work / Client Requirement For Any Work Related to 4D VDC Planning
- Software / Hardware Support & Training
- Any one or more of these services throughout the life cycle of the project
- Work can executed by a mix of desk work at our head office and site visits, or experienced team will be deployed on site as per project requirement.
Benefits
- Visualization of Construction Sequence in 3D Animated Form With respect to Time Schedule
- Better Communication and Understanding among the Team Members and All Stakeholders
- Review the Construction Sequence With all Stakeholders & Correct the Baseline Work / Cost / Resource Schedule
- Efficient Progress Tracking and Finding Better Alternates to Reduce the Risk of Time & Cost Overrun
- Visualize The Mistakes of Project Plan and Correct it Before it Actually Occurs
- Minimized Client-Contractor Disputes and Improved Scope Change and Safety Management
