4D-Project Schedule
Schedule information can be linked from external PM tools
Project tasks are linked to physical or logical location (phase, floor, area etc.)
Building object schedules are compared and/or checked automatically against building schedule

10. 4D: Schedule / Project Visibility
“SEE THE SCHEDULE” User definable visualization schemes from the model
Blue-completed, Green-live or in progress Red- prep for up coming day and Transparent- 2 weeks out
Lifecycle mgmt. info: design/procure/build/deliver/install dates

5D-Cost
The ability to tag each object with its components as well as related materials, consumables, labor, insurance, geographic cost indexes, etc.
Lives state budget updates through design build (budget, estimate, bid, actual)
Value engineering “what if scenarios”

12. Pre-Assembly and Fabrication
Bi-directional data transfer from model to automated fabrication equipment
Staged fabrication based on just-in-time design, delivery and installation.
Construction Documents illustrate design intent only.
