Leveraging Revit and Navisworks to offer 4D Construction Simulation Services

2.  Introduction The 3D coordinated model of a project offered by Revit BIM architectural modeling services has been a big step forward for the construction industry. It has offered big improvements in project planning and communication. However, the coordinated 3D model only talks about the final installed position of the components of various trades.  The 3D coordinated model does not shed any light on the events during construction. This is where 4D construction simulation services can help. 4D construction simulation service can improve planning predictability and schedule accuracy by better understanding the construction site and process. Specifically, the application of 4D simulation can help in

3. Site logistics model The 4D simulation can not only be used to simulate the timeline of a project but can be also used to provide value by planning work areas and looking for overlaps between the different trades. Additionally, the 4D construction simulation service can also help with coordinating the storage of materials on-site. 

4. Animation for equipment routing 4D construction simulation service can be used to offer an animated view of the routing of different materials through the construction site. It can be used to model different materials or equipment that moves through the construction site. The animated simulation can guide the site engineers about the possible ways they can route different types of equipment without clashing with others. Simulating project timeline Simulation of the entire project activity can be used by the on-site engineers as a planning tool or as a reference to compare the actual project schedule against. 4D construction simulation services can be also used for adding geometry and visually tracking tasks or requirements of site readiness.
