ABSTRACT

The use of 4D CAD has increased in the indus-

try and 4D simulations have been implemented in

growing number of projects. Currently the projects

utilise 4D as a planning review tool, rather than

integral to the initial construction planning proc-

ess (Zhou 2009). It appears that planning is done

as earlier but the outcome in relation to schedule

is presented also in 4D. Now that the technologi-

cal maturity of applications has increased, the

4D technology is able to prepare the way to new

project management tools.
