Abstract
Traditional design and construction planning tools, such as 2D drawings and network diagrams, do not support the timely and integrated decision making necessary to move projects forward quickly The construction knowledge necessary to build 4D models has been formalized and developed by a methodology that guides project planners in generating 4D models from 3D product models. This formalized knowledge enables project managers to create and update realistic schedules rapidly and to integrate the temporal and spatial aspects of a schedule as intelligent 4D models.
