4D and 5D BIM Process: From Scheduling to Cost Analysis

We specialize in integrating accurate cost data and project schedules into BIM models. This approach provides critical insights to improve decision-making and increase project value.

Step 1: Collecting Inputs & Scope Definition

  • Gather CAD files, design drawings, and project schedules.

  • Define the scope of 4D and 5D modeling with stakeholders.

  • Set milestones for deliverables and reporting.

Typical Duration: 2–3 business days.

Step 2: Developing BIM Model in Revit

  • Build or update BIM models at the required LOD.

  • Integrate architectural, structural, and MEP elements.

  • Link activities and costs at an element level.

Typical Duration: 4–6 business days.

Step 3: Linking Schedule Data (4D)

  • Import project schedules from Primavera P6 or MS Project.

  • Map activities to BIM components for time-phased simulation.

  • Create dynamic visualizations for sequencing.

Typical Duration: 3–4 business days.

Step 4: Embedding Cost Data (5D)

  • Link cost codes, unit rates, and BOQs to model elements.

  • Generate real-time quantity take-offs and cost summaries.

  • Validate budget data against project scope.

Typical Duration: 3–5 business days.

Step 5: Quality Review & Final Delivery

  • Run simulations for schedule and budget accuracy.

  • Deliver models in RVT, NWC, IFC, and reports in Excel/PDF.

  • Conduct final client review for approval.

Typical Duration: 2–3 business days.
