A truly efficient and strategic approach to 4D BIM proves to be a game-changer in construction scheduling. By adding “time” as the fourth dimension to 3D BIM models, 4D BIM enhances simulation that reduces inconsistencies for stakeholders. By intelligently interlinking different project components, the tool facilitates a logical and efficient sequencing of processes, thereby speeding the delivery and optimizing costs. Here we discuss the most crucial tips to consider when implementing 4D BIM for construction scheduling.
Have you faced the inability to develop an accurate and consistent cost estimation template using 2D cost estimation methods? Many cost managers are adopting 5D BIM to drive faster BOQs and leveraging reduced project timelines, greater flexibility, and higher control over cost estimates and budget in the volatile construction industry.

Infrastructural, operational, and safety risks act as barriers in solving complex healthcare construction needs. Explore how the adoption of BIM in hospital construction helps architects, designers, and contractors.
How to Convert Point Cloud Data into Revit Models
Is your renovation or restoration project not meeting the necessary timelines or budget? Renovation and retrofit projects need Point Cloud to BIM processes and tools for precise cost estimates, streamlined schedules and material estimation. Watch this video on how Point Cloud data can be converted to coordinated and clash-free models using Revit to achieve successful renovation, restoration and retrofitting.
Refine budgets through interactive estimates at the preconstruction stage with 5D cost estimation. Hitech CADD Services assists builders and contractors with improved cost visualization to reduce project lifecycles, minimize material costs and exhibit better project control.
Revit drafters at Hitech CADD Services created Revit families of plumbing equipment for a North American company. With the 150 Revit Families created, we facilitated the client to gain quick modeling through readily available BIM data that was used with architectural and structural drawings, resulting in time savings for the client.

Real time clash detection using coordinated BIM models
Rework and material waste contribute to about 35% of construction cost. This is a huge hit to the construction project owners as it depletes their profit margin.
Clash detection tools like Navisworks can identify and resolve clashes with coordinated 3D BIM models. Be it interdisciplinary clashes, component buffer space clashes or workflow clashes, clash detection tools can easily resolve them in the pre-construction stage, thus reducing rework and material wastage.

Point cloud to BIM modeling is truly a game-changer for the construction industry. Creating 2D/3D As-Built models from Point Clouds enables better decision making, reduced rework and risks, lower costs, high-quality deliverables, and more for any restoration and renovation projects. Here you will find a 5 step process to create 2D/3D as-built models for heritage buildings.
The adoption of 5D cost estimation enables stakeholders to make smarter decisions in terms of resource allocation, material, and equipment. The ability to generate automatic quantities through model-based data helps estimators explore better ways to enhance construction performance and costs. Being able to visualize the impact of costs based on a model at the pre-construction stage, helps owners improve cost predictability and stay within the stipulated budget.
A right approach to implementing 4D BIM allows architects, engineers, and contractors (AEC) to perfectly add the extra layer of scheduling data to the project information model. By intelligently interlinking different project components, the tool facilitates a logical and efficient sequencing of processes, thereby speeding the delivery and optimizing costs.
