4D Scheduling Software

State of the Art Functionalities of 4D Editors

• Import various 3D model formats

• Support major scheduling software

• Construction sequence animation

• Synchronisation of model and program data

• Rule-based activity linking

Visual Schedule

4D Scheduling Software

Limitations of 4D Editors

• Limited export of created 4D model

• Complex and time consuming linking process

• Focus on visual schedule analysis

• High efforts for 4D model updates

No Scheduling

Quantity Take Off

Model-based Quantities - Creation Strategy / Software

Filled BOQ with model-based Quantities

Specs 3D Model

11 Dr. Racha Chahrour

HOCHTIEF ViCon

• Elements:

• Columns

• Walls

• Ceilings

• Beams

• Quantities with the corresponding structural elements

Quantity Take Off

Structural Elements

12 Dr. Racha Chahrour

HOCHTIEF ViCon

• All openings like doors, windows, ceiling fretworks are subtracted -according to the QRM- of the corresponding structural elements

• If wall and beams intersect, the intersection area is subtracted of the wall

Quantity Take Off

Rules of Measurements

13 Dr. Racha Chahrour

HOCHTIEF ViCon

• Walls, columns and ceilings may have different qualities. e.g. walls:

a. Drywalls

b. Blockwork

c. Concrete

• So different types of walls are displayed in different colours

a. c.

• Finishing works can be calculated over the rooms

• A room is bounded by vertical and horizontal structural elements

Finishing Works

15 Dr. Racha Chahrour

HOCHTIEF ViCon

• Full definition of model requirements at project start to ensure re-usage of 3D models

• Definition of the model structure considering construction joints

• Usage of appropriate agreed/standarised description for 3D model elements

• Implementation of rules of measurement to consider small openings

• Easy access to created data for all stakeholders

Process Requirements

16 Dr. Racha Chahrour

HOCHTIEF ViCon

Summary

• Latest technology is generally able to meet common project

requirements

• Rule-based schedule linking would improve performance

• Visualising the construction program improves project communication

among all stakeholders

• Data exchange is limited

• Quantity take off requires accurate, structured and qualified 3D

models
