4D Phase Planning

A process in which a 4D model (3D models with the added dimension of time) is utilized to effectively plan the phased occupancy in a renovation, retrofit, addition, or to show the construction sequence and space requirements on a building site.

4D modeling is a powerful visualization and communication tool that can give a project team, including the Appointing Party, a better understanding of project milestones and construction plans.

Potential Value

Better understanding of the phasing schedule by the Appointing Party and project participants, showing the critical path of the project.
Dynamic phasing plans of occupancy offering multiple options and solutions to space conflicts.
Integrate planning of human, equipment, and material resources with the model to better schedule and cost estimate the project.
Space and workspace conflicts identified and resolved ahead of the construction process.
Marketing purposes and publicity.
Identification of schedule, sequencing, or phasing issues.
More readily constructible, operable, and maintainable project.
Monitor procurement status of project materials.
Increased productivity and decreased waste on job sites.
Conveying the spatial complexities of the project, planning information, and support conducting additional analyses.

Resources Required	Team Competencies Required
Design Authoring Software Scheduling Software 4D Modeling Software	Knowledge of construction scheduling and general construction process. A 4D model is connected to a schedule and is therefore only as good as the schedule to which it is linked. Ability to manipulate, navigate, and review a 3D model. Knowledge of 4D software: import geometry, manage links to schedules, produce and control animations, etc.
