4D & 5D BIM

4D & 5D Construction Simulation Services

We enhance project planning by visualizing timeline development, phasing, and simulations — helping teams analyze designs, compare options, and track construction progress.

Time

4D: Schedule Simulation

  • Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

    Break the project into activities using a structured WBS.

  • BIM Integration

    Connect BIM elements to respective project activities for seamless coordination.

  • Scheduling

    Develop a detailed Gantt chart for activity scheduling.

  • Model Integration

    Combine multiple 3D BIM models for comprehensive analysis.

  • Simulations

    Create real-time simulations to visualize project progress accurately.

Cost

5D: Cost Integration

  • Cost Data Integration

    Add specific cost information (schedules, pricing, quantities) to the BIM model.

  • Real-Time Cost Estimates

    Provide comprehensive, real-time 5D cost estimates using virtual models.

  • Export Options

    Export charts and simulations in various formats for presentations.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 4D and 5D BIM?

4D BIM links the 3D model to the construction programme so you can simulate the build sequence over time. 5D BIM adds cost data, so quantities and cash flow update as the design and schedule change.

What do you need to build a 4D simulation?

A coordinated 3D model (Revit, IFC, or Navisworks) and a programme in Primavera P6 or MS Project. We map activities to model elements and deliver the simulation video and reviewable model.

How does 5D BIM improve cost control?

Quantities are extracted directly from model geometry rather than manual take-off, so estimates stay tied to the current design and variations are priced as soon as the model changes.
