Abstract
En 中文
Four-dimensional (4D) simulation is an accepted innovation in the field of project management, in forensic delay analysis, and often considered with developments of building information modeling on major capital construction projects. Yet, the industry leaders using it and related researchers do not specify much of the requirements involved with 4D simulation constructability collaboration review. This article provides a conceptual framework of such 4D collaboration reviews including the perimeter of required related activities, key characteristics, and metrics involved with 4D simulation generation. It provides experienced benefits associated with 4D simulation constructability collaboration review including delay claims avoidance elements. Involved stakeholders mentioned the 4D simulation as a proactive method useful for cross-examination and detection in relation to sequence changes, scope changes, design changes, and additional useful project details. 4D simulation reduces blind spots generated with classic project schedule reviews including changes, causation, and impacts, which are useful aspects for the lawyers. This article shows two projects with 4D simulation deliverables and reports that experienced earlier constructability validation, scenarios with less conflicts, reduced number of changes and reworks on site, became less risky and encouraged completion with respect of the as-planned construction schedule. The resulting implication are 4D simulation and collaboration reviews to reduce delays and claims, including false claims, and as dissuasion tools.
