The content of a construction project schedule should remain largely consistent with traditional schedules. This approach makes it easier for specific construction personnel on site to understand and manage the timeline effectively.
The schedule should be divided into four key parts: the overall schedule outline, the main construction project schedule, the secondary schedule plan, and the daily execution schedule plan. This structure ensures the schedule is both practical and applicable, supporting the daily work of engineers, on-site managers, and construction personnel at all levels.
The BIM planning team plays a crucial role in organizing and preparing the BIM schedule plan. To maximize the benefits of this team, it is essential to deepen and expand the preparation of BIM-based schedules during both the pre-construction and on-site construction phases. This includes developing a clearer and more detailed construction organization process.
Outline of Progress Plan under BIM Technology
The overall schedule outline serves as a vital guiding document prepared after project approval, playing a significant role during the on-site construction stage. Under BIM technology, it functions as an open system. Construction project teams can access various known inputs from the project’s environment, including design data, schedule requirements, participating units, personnel and material allocation, project investment, geographical information, and other relevant construction details.
The outline typically includes preparation instructions, an overview of the construction project and its objectives, site status and planning system, construction interfaces, and key milestone nodes. Unlike traditional schedules that rely heavily on text and tables, BIM-based schedule planning employs innovative methods to express information. These include 4D simulation construction using monthly progress units, defining working 3D views of each milestone based on the three-dimensional relationships within the project’s subsystem structure, and creating an easy-to-understand construction network plan diagram. These advanced techniques lay a solid foundation for developing the overall schedule plan.
