BIM SERVICES

4D / 5D BIM Services

Connect 3D BIM models with construction time scheduling (4D) and cost quantity modeling (5D) for data-driven project planning, cash flow forecasting, and site execution tracking.

TIME & COST INTEGRATION

Integrating Construction Time Scheduling & Cost Quantity Modeling

Traditional 2D Gantt charts and static spreadsheets fail to communicate site logistics or dynamic cash flow demands. Vircora BIM Services links 3D model geometry directly to Primavera P6 / MS Project schedules (4D BIM) and cost assemblies (5D BIM).

Our 4D/5D BIM simulations allow general contractors, developers, and project managers to visualize construction progress, optimize crane/laydown space, automate quantity takeoffs (QTO), and forecast monthly cash flow with full transparency.

SERVICE FAQ

4D / 5D BIM FAQ

4D BIM links 3D model geometry to time schedule data (Primavera P6 / MS Project) for visual construction sequencing. 5D BIM adds cost data and automated quantity takeoffs (QTO) to model elements for real-time budget tracking.

We work with Primavera P6 (.xer), MS Project (.mpp), and CSV schedule formats containing clear Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) activity IDs.

Since 5D quantities are extracted directly from 3D parametric geometry, accuracy is significantly higher than 2D manual scaling, provided the model adheres to proper BIM modeling standards.

Yes. By modeling temporary cranes, material laydown areas, scaffolding, and delivery routes over time, 4D simulations flag spatial congestion and access bottlenecks early.

You will receive high-resolution 4D MP4 video simulations, native Synchro/Navisworks files, 5D QTO Excel quantity reports, cash flow curves, and PDF executive summary reports.
