Purpose and Background
The purpose of this webinar is to provide participants with a foundational understanding of 4D and 5D BIM concepts and their applications in the construction industry. Attendees will gain insights into how integrating time and cost data into BIM models can enhance project planning, scheduling, and cost control. This introductory session will serve as a starting point for those new to 4D and 5D BIM, providing a clear overview of their potential benefits and implementation strategies.
Benefits and Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Define 4D and 5D BIM and understand their relationship to traditional project management
- Explain the benefits of integrating time and cost data into BIM models
- Explain the process of importing construction schedules into BIM software for 4D visualization
- Create basic 4D simulations to visualize construction sequencing
- Interpret 5D cost data within the BIM environment
- Recognize the value of 4D and 5D BIM in improving project planning, scheduling, and cost control
These learning outcomes focus on providing a foundational understanding of 4D and 5D BIM concepts and their practical applications.
Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Achievement of the learning outcomes by attendees will be assessed through short quizzes and a final exam.
