There is one type of BIM, that I call the Bully BIM. It is a bit of a ‘below-the-belt punch’ kind of BIM approach. Unforeseen clashes of building elements cause a lot of trouble when discovered during construction and subsequently slow progress down, result in abortive works, extra materials, labor cost and lengthened programs.

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.
