What's Included
Here’s what we deliver when you engage us for 4D BIM sequencing.
Visual Construction Planning
Link schedule milestones to BIM elements for visual validation of build sequences, identifying conflicts and optimizing site logistics before mobilization.
Client-Ready Presentations
Generate high-quality 4D animations with multiple camera angles. Communicate complex construction plans clearly to stakeholders and clients.
Pre-Construction Validation
Test build sequences virtually to identify access issues, crane positioning, and temporary works needs. Validate constructability before committing resources.
Our 4D Construction Workflow
Our streamlined approach ensures quality 4D BIM delivery.
Upload Files
Share your CAD plans, 3D models, or schedules on the Bimeco Platform. Our team reviews the files within 2 working days.
Build the 4D
We use industry-leading tools like Synchro 4D to link your schedule with the BIM model, creating a realistic construction sequence.
Video Review
We prepare up to 3 recommended viewpoints and refine the sequence based on your feedback. Final videos are shared via the Bimeco Platform.
Best 4D Software
We integrate BIM models from leading platforms with enterprise scheduling software (Primavera P6, MS Project) for comprehensive 4D sequencing and visual timeline simulations.
4D BIM Workflows
Why leading consultants and contractors incorporate 4D BIM.
Deliver Ahead of Schedule
Using Critical Path Analysis, contractors can sequence complex, concurrent site activities to find the fastest route to completion. Studies report up to 20% reductions in overall project lead times.
Win More Bids
4D BIM showcases your ability to execute complex site works. Including 4D simulations in tender submissions often improves win rates, with measurable improvements in contractor selection outcomes.
Reduce Project Risks
Complex schedules in MS Project or Primavera P6 can be difficult for site teams to interpret. A 4D BIM sequence turns them into an intuitive, time-linked animation that helps crews coordinate work and reduce overruns.
Our 4D Projects
We have delivered countless 4D BIM projects. Here are some highlights.
Civil Walkthrough for Airport
Integrated the tender BIM model with the construction schedule in Synchro 4D to showcase how the airport’s tunnels connect, providing stakeholders with a clear, phased walkthrough of the substructure.
Safety Demo for Industrial Plant
Produced a facility walkthrough using the as-built BIM model, providing an engaging tool for safety training, presentations, and marketing campaigns.
DE 107 Rail Project
Combined a BIM model with an Oracle Primavera P6 schedule to visualize the construction sequence of an underground station.
Frequently asked questions
- What exactly will you deliver if we engage you for 4D BIM?
- We deliver a 4D BIM model that links construction activities to your schedule, allowing stakeholders to visualize the build sequence over time. Deliverables can range from tender-level simulations to fully detailed LOD 500 models.
- Do we need a BIM model ready before engaging you?
- Not necessarily. If you already have a BIM model, we can integrate it directly with your schedule. If not, our BIM team can help develop one based on your drawings and project requirements.
- How accurate is the 4D sequence?
- Accuracy depends on the detail of your schedule and model. With a well-defined programme and coordinated BIM model, our 4D simulations closely reflect site progress and potential risks.
- How long does it take to prepare a 4D BIM sequence?
- Setup typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on project size and model quality. We also update the sequence as your schedule evolves to keep it aligned with project milestones.
- What software do you use?
- We primarily use Synchro 4D and Navisworks, but can adapt to client-specified platforms. Models can be delivered in native formats (e.g., Revit, Archicad, Tekla) and open standards such as IFC.
Here's what our clients have to say.
Faiz understood our piping systems well and flagged design issues before coordination meetings. Working with their BIM team is seamless.
