OVERVIEW
Rehearse the Build Before You Start
We link your model to your Primavera P6 or MS Project schedule, so the build plays out week by week and sequence problems show up before the field.
4D helps teams:
Check sequence: logic gaps and clashing activities
Plan logistics: cranes, access and laydown by phase
Communicate: clear visuals for owners and site teams
