Job order contracting information is key to improving construction productivity. Over time, however, design-bid-build has proven to be inefficient, antagonistic, and incapable of delivering the majority of construction project on-time, on-budget, and to everyone’s satisfaction. public contracts.

Most of the time, 4D BIM is seen as an early stakeholder engagement tool. You create fancy animations and visualisations of the built assets coming to life, ultimately presenting a relatively low-fidelity model of the asset you’re creating. It enables businesses to understand, control, and minimise downtime and lost production.
