BIM based workflow for 4D construction planning

The studies conducted on Building Information Modeling methodology and its associated tools spotlight the related great improvement in managing the construction phase. This paper shows how BIM4D simulation can boost the accuracy of the temporal and economic forecast of the constructive intervention. This approach can reduce problems related to the incorrect interpretation of the work program because it is able to directly relate the information model with the work program in a single environment. Moreover, this contribution reports the strong improvement in the construction phase management by the integration of BIM 4D methods and tools and a geospatial 3D mapping platform.
