3-Dimensional (3-D) and 4-Dimensional (4-D) modeling are valuable visualization, management and communication tools that may be utilized at any stage of the construction process. 3-D modeling allows participants in the construction process to visually comprehend the intended look or use of any construction project.
4-D modeling overlays the project schedule onto a 3-D model. This powerful communication tool illustrates complex project sequencing information, traditionally communicated through bar chart construction schedules, in a model that is easily understood by construction stakeholders and finders of fact.
The value of 3-D and 4-D modeling and animation 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. DRG offers in-house 3-D and 4-D Modeling and Animation for the following applications:
