The project schedule involves organizing the start and finish times of each activity to ensure the project is delivered on time.
To create a schedule using BIM, start by breaking down the project work into manageable packages. Next, link these work packages to components within the building information model. Calculate the workload for each task and determine key timing details such as the earliest start, latest start, and task duration. Establish the logical relationships and overlap times between tasks. Then, integrate project progress data with component information to generate a comprehensive schedule.
Scheduling is closely tied to resource planning. Each task requires proper allocation of resources, with resource usage planned for every progress milestone. Selecting specific components, tasks, and time points allows intuitive access to 3D models, progress updates, and resource information, enabling reasonable preparation and adjustment of the schedule.
Using BIM to guide schedule preparation fosters information sharing and seamless communication on a unified platform, eliminating inconsistencies across teams and disciplines. All stakeholders can collaboratively plan personnel, materials, equipment usage, and site layouts throughout construction. The schedule’s feasibility and accuracy can be verified through simulation and visualization, allowing for timely adjustments and optimizations.
Additionally, resource suppliers can coordinate deliveries efficiently according to the schedule and resource demands of each team and discipline, helping to prevent project delays caused by resource shortages.
