Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of creating and managing building data through a three-dimensional model. It helps in building life cycle management. You can get a detailed estimation of the costs and can get better coordination among the involved teams using BIM services. All the relevant factors can be analyzed before the beginning of actual construction. This means that the construction will be efficiently managed and you can effectively plan ahead for setbacks.
4D BIM Modeling is a step further after 3D BIM modeling in construction management means the additional element of time or dimension of 3D BIM + Time = 4D BIM or Scheduling.
The construction of the 4D models enables project stakeholders like architects, general contractors, owners, construction managers, etc. to visualize the entire duration of a series of events and display the progress of construction activities through the lifetime of the project.
This approach towards project management technique has a very high potential to improve the project management and delivery of construction projects, of any size or complexity.

A proper Level of Development (LOD) specifications can enhance the accuracy, precision, and value of the entire BIM process as well as 3D models for the entire lifecycle of a project. Read more about the Level of Detailing/ Development (LOD).
If you are looking for an outsourced BIM services provider you should look for a company that delivers you end-to-end BIM implementation as well as consulting services and essentially can make a visible difference in building construction and infrastructure development projects. Hitech BIM Services is one of the popular BIM services providers in USA, UK, Canada, Europe, and Australia & APEC regions. For more information, please email us at info@hitechbimservices.com
By properly utilizing data and populating 3D models with new levels of details, building information modeling (BIM) can be beneficial to contractors. BIM adoption provides 3D constructible models to contractors that help them increase productivity and profitability. BIM 4D modeling enables better and more detailed simulations for improved analysis and shared understanding and BIM 5D models enable accurate cost estimation.
We developed parametric Revit families of plumbing fixtures, light fittings, and many mechanical types of equipment used across the educational building for the sustainable energy and environmental solutions company in Europe. Check out the full project.
4D BIM is the fourth-dimensional building information modeling that links 3D digital models with time or schedule-related information. 4D BIM modeling provides precise and useful information on the construction project phases. 4D simulation of construction phasing proves helpful for construction teams in visualizing logistical issues and operational inefficiencies. 4D BIM scheduling improves productivity and operational efficiencies also reduce risks due to improved team coordination and collaboration.
Working with BIM has essentially eased the process and achieved more accurate outcomes. When additional dimensions of time and cost are added to 3D BIM coordinated models then it’s called 4D and 5D BIM modeling. 5D BIM models are generated with BOQs in form of .xls files and reports. In this article, we have explained the whole process of 5D BIM cost estimation and quantity take-offs.
Clash detection using BIM helps in speeding up construction projects by identifying clashes between several models during the early design stage itself, helping architects and contractors eliminate chances of multi-level design changes which result in a reduction in overall cost, material waste, and project completion time.
Are you an architectural firm facing coordination and communication issues? As architectural projects continue to become demanding, so do the challenges. Architectural projects are increasingly becoming complex due to the customization required from clients. These projects require the power of visualization, design & documentation, multidisciplinary coordination, and more. HitechBIMServices assist architectural firms with Revit modeling services that mitigate project delays and lower construction costs.
