Construction site design planning using 4D BIM modeling

Planejamento para projeto de canteiro de obra com uso de modelagem BIM 4D

Abstract:

Adequate construction site planning provides productivity and safety gains and reduces material transportation costs. However, as they take a dynamic structure, the construction site layout planning is quite often complex and inefficient. 4D BIM modeling helps to visualize the spatial layout of objects on the construction site throughout the project establishing their positioning during a specific time, thus providing better results for the physical use of space. By using the Design Science Research method, this article aims to establish a process using 4D BIM modeling to implement the planning and management of construction sites taking into account their key characteristic, dynamism.
