Simulation of Residential Project Using BIM Concept

In construction industry, to develop a construction schedule, visualization of 2D design documents is necessary. Planner needs to study 2D documents with their related construction activities, and then mentally visualize the construction sequence. BIM in terms of 4D modeling saves a lot of time and money over traditional scheduling processes. This paper presents Implementation of project management function with use of BIM concept in residential building. To assess the effectiveness of using 4D modeling to visualize a construction schedule, a case study research project is being performed where a 3D model is being generated and a construction schedule with the aid of a 4D learning module. The 4D modules were developed using two different 4D modeling applications. Finally, a conclusion will be made on whether it is beneficiary and practical to apply 4D scheduling in any construction project, and recommendations will be made based on the same.
