Pond Ingenuity Fall 2018 7 communicate this to all team members as needed at any point during a project. Over time, a schedule can be linked to a digital model to evaluate construction options. With a 3D model, as in our typical Gantt chart processes or conventional project management processes, tracking activities is a bit cumbersome. However, with the digital 3D geometry of the as-built and proposed building design, the understanding and explanation become profound. For traditional practices, there are innumerous charts, bars, and graphs which are often misleading or need intensive calculations. A 3D geometry not only eliminates the graphs but also ensures that there is no ambiguity. The logical and more efficient sequencing of tasks on the construction site can be a true game-changer in terms of budget for construction projects. To be more specific, the early illustration of the upcoming project phases could allow for valuable feedback which could reduce rework rates and minimize delays. It’s important to underline that the advent of 4D BIM doesn’t signify that planners are no longer a substantial part of the project. To the contrary, with the help of 4D BIM they can do their job with higher precision. Instead of building programs as the proposals are unfolded, planners have now the opportunity to form proposals at a much earlier phase in a project. By trusting on digital workflows, planners can play their own role in transforming the building process.  Bryan K.
