4D planning is not complicated. It's a method that pays for itself many times over if you're doing it correctly. Don't focus on the outputs. Just start. ▶ Hire skilled modellers.▶ Make a basic plan for using it.▶ Do a pilot project (a complex one)

4D and reality capture ▶. Described as 'Google Earth on steroids', @sensat_ai helps project teams to see their infrastructure project and more confidently make the right decisions. Imagine this with ultra-detail 4D on top.

Bigger is better!. Don’t build ultra-high detail 4D models and then only review them on small screens. We've partnered with @MissionRoomLtd on recent projects, with brilliant results:. ⚡ @Bentley_SYNCHRO interaction.⚡ Greatly improved engagement.⚡ Teams can work as teams

Large construction projects often go over time & budget. One cause for this - interdependency & variability of large networks of linked activities. 4D can help resolve this this by providing visual clarity.

Does 4D give you Jedi abilities?. Absolutely. It allows teams to plan, experience, and rehearse the future. Surely this is a power all projects can benefit from?. Register to learn more at #4D2020

Construction planning is better when we use models and data, and work as a team. It's not just about creating an animation to show the 'project being built'. Join us next week for the 4D Construction Group's first online conference.

"4D" is a method of using geometry+data to plan and control construction. Does this work? Is this too simple? Is there a better summary somewhere? Is there anything to add?.

Where would you position 4D?. Is it part of Information Management? (Or "BIM"?). Or is it Planning?. Or part of Project Management?. Does it matter?.
