Abstract
Construction management assumes a crucial role in overseeing a project's time, cost, and quality, particularly in large-scale projects. Building information modelling (BIM) is expected to enhance construction management by providing improved insights. To refine construction management further, 4D BIM can be integrated into projects by incorporating time or schedule-related information into the model, thereby establishing a more structured workflow. The aim of this research is to examine the application of 4D BIM in construction management, showcasing the value of BIM brings to construction projects. Additionally, the research also establishes a 4D BIM scheduling process for residential buildings and develops a 4D project scheduling workflow within a BIM environment. The research methodology includes desk analysis based on a case study of a residential building in Malaysia. This research serves as a guide for developers and contractors in simulating and accessing construction sequence scheduling within the context of 4D BIM implementation.
