4-Dimensional Scheduling

4-Dimensional (or 4-D) Scheduling overlays the project schedule onto a traditional 3-Dimensional CAD model. This powerful communication tool illustrates complex project information through a model that is easily understood by all project stakeholders and fact finders.

With 4-D, prospective owners, designers, contractors and investors are able to watch a virtual construction of the proposed venture, before the first shovel is placed in the ground.

The value of 4-D extends far beyond the planning stage of a project into construction, troubleshooting and even claim presentation. Through custom animation, we are able to investigate specific construction sequences, highlight design conflicts, and analyze an as-planned v. as-built schedule comparison in real time. The Duggan Rhodes Group offers in-house 4-D Scheduling and Visualization for the following applications:
