4D Planning and Scheduling with Asta Powerproject

Agenda

Introduction to Building Information Modeling (BIM)
4D planning and scheduling basic principles
Create project schedules with 3D BIM model
Visualize the project schedule with 4D timeline simulation
Use BIM data to calculate productivity rates and task durations
Monitor progress information with 4D planned vs. actual simulations
Identify delayed activities on the project schedule

4D planning and scheduling with Asta Powerproject is a representation of how integrated data that are coming from different softwares can mean to planning and project controls.

Planning and controlling construction projects with 4D schedules is a powerful alternative of adding a direct value to the projects as it provides a direct visibility of project execution sequence. The visibility simplifies the understanding of complex schedules to who may not be familiar with them. With this way, all project stakeholders including non-technical investors can understand the project execution strategy easily.

There are several use cases how 4D planning and scheduling supports the project by allowing:

Identifying logic mistakes that may be hard to recognize during planning and scheduling
Increasing the understandability of complex project schedules to every project stakeholder
Adding value to project team meetings to discuss on alternative execution strategies
Visually supporting delay claims documents
Integrating BIM data to optimize project resource requirements

Visual design and construction is becoming a new specialty area in construction project management. With the advantage of technology adoption in the construction industry, 4D planners are becoming indispensable in every complex project organization. A good use case of 4D planning and scheduling increases project communication and accordingy reduces disputes or claims between parties.

Asta Powerproject is a powerful, easy-to-use planning and scheduling tool that is specifically design for construction and engineering projects. It is fully scalable to all kind of project and portfolio sizes with a rich variaty of project management applications such as resource and cost management, earne-value analysis, schedule risk analysis and 4D planning and project controls.
