What is 4D scheduling and how does it work?

4D scheduling is, in simple terms, combining a traditional project schedule with a 3D model of a project to allow you to visually see how the project is planned to be constructed.

Several studies indicate images improve our ability to comprehend information.

Our brains can see images that last for just 13 milliseconds.
90 percent of information transmitted to the brain is visual.
Images are processed 60x faster than text alone.
Up to 65% of us are visual learners.

Because of this, there’s a huge opportunity to utilize BIM.
