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. Your solution must accommodate technically-minded BIM users, managers, and ground teams.
