4D & 5D BIM Service

Service Overview

4D & 5D BIM

is the process of integrating time (4D) and cost (5D) elements into a 3D BIM model.

Use Case of 4D & 5D BIM?

  • Visual project simulation
  • Project scheduling
  • Budget planning
  • Quantity take off
  • Cash flow projection
  • Cost impact analysis
  • Delay mitigation

Problem We Solve

Without the integration of 4D and 5D BIM, the construction process often experiences delays and cost overruns due to the lack of schedule visualization and inaccuracies in budget estimation. Planning was done separately from the design model, making it difficult to monitor the impact of changes on time and cost in real-time. Coordination between teams is also out of sync, as there is no tool that brings together design, schedule and cost information in one unified system. This increased the risk of conflict in the field, duplication of work, and decisions that were not based on actual data.

How 4D & 5D BIM Works

4D BIM: Each element of the building is linked to the construction schedule, so the team can simulate the construction phase over time.

5D BIM: Model elements are also linked to cost information so that design changes directly affect the total cost estimate automatically.

The process is done through supporting 4D/5D software such as Naviswork, Synchro, or CostOS to generate real-time visualizations of progress and budget reports.

Key Benefits of 4D & 5D BIM

Better Project Planning

The team can view the building sequence visually and more easily strategize the construction.

Real-Time Cost Tracking

Direct costs are updated if there are changes to the design or volume of work.

Improved Collaboration

All stakeholders work with the same, integrated schedule and cost data.

Conflict & Delay Prevention

Time simulation helps identify potential work backlogs or delays early on.

Accurate Budget Control

Cost estimation is more accurate because it is model-based, not manual assumptions.

Sample 4D & 5D BIM Service

4D & 5D BIM

After modeling the highway into 3 dimensions, we simulate it into BIM 4D combined with BIM 5D. From there we can monitor the progress of the work and the expenses incurred every day.

4D BIM

Planning and executing toll road projects is much easier with BIM 4D now. We can visually model the toll road complete with detailed information on each stage of construction. The model displays project elements from the beginning to the end of construction that are accurately visualized in the project timeline. We can estimate the completion of a project stage until the end of construction.

5D BIM

In BIM 5D, we simulate not only the construction schedule, but also integrate cost data directly into the model. Every element of the expressway-structure, pavement, utilities-is linked to detailed cost information.

5D BIM

This model allows you to track and manage budgets dynamically throughout the project schedule. We can estimate costs for each stage, monitor changes, and see the financial impact in real time, all in one integrated platform.
