Sequencing
A 4D construction sequence or 4D phasing animation allows construction programmes, schedules or logistics strategies to be represented graphically. They are simulated by producing 3D models of the scheme and adding a 4th Dimension – Time. These build sequences provide the opportunity to visualise the proposed construction methodology and display knowledge and understanding of the project, demonstrating to an audience the technical details in a clear and precise way.
- A 3D model built up over time to show construction sequence and site logistics.
- Visual communication and review of the construction programme and site methodology.
- Visual representation of potential problems.
- Time and cost savings due to the ability to create various sequence options to maximise efficiency.
- Eliminate phasing errors before getting to site.
- Better awareness of the expected site conditions.
- The opportunity to display knowledge and understanding of the project – essential when bidding for work.
- Anyone can watch an animated build sequence and gain an appreciation of the construction process.
- Greater opportunity to display the advantages of prefabricated modules – and associated cost savings.
