“…[46]. Classical methods of visualization, such as Gantt charts, lack the ability to illustrate the relationships between time and space [48]. With the help of this feature, more understandable and practical results are obtained, and it ensures that the problems that may be encountered can be foreseen, and the necessary precautions are taken in advance [48].…”

Planning is one of the advancements in Building Information Modeling (BIM) domain which enables the practitioner to visualize the relation of time with 3D objects. Notwithstanding the fruitful existing studies, the awareness of the practitioners concerning 4D-BIM features is not sufficient. Moreover, the construction industry suffers from the lack of features of the existing 4D-BIM software. Furthermore, the existing features vary from software to software due to a lack of awareness with respect to the importance of the features of 4D-BIM. These drawbacks result in unsuccessful 4D-BIM applications in the construction industry. Therefore, this study aims to define 4D-BIM features and detect their importance in the construction industry. Hence, 4D-BIM features were detected via an in-depth literature review and a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) conducted with 10 experts. Consequently, 16 4D-BIM features were detected. Later, the features were evaluated by 35 experts who have experience in the 4D-BIM domain, and the obtained data were analyzed via Relative Importance Index (RII) method to detect the significance levels of 4D-BIM features. As a result, the significance level of each feature was found to be greater than 0.5 according to RII method, which indicates that each of the features in 4D-BIM has critical importance in the planning of the project. It is highly believed that this study will pave the way for future 4D-BIM-related studies as well as increase the awareness of the practitioners, software developers and researchers in terms of the current needs of the construction industry.

“…The WBS code used in the study follows recommendations from previous studies, including Ciribini et al (2016), Hamledari et al (2017) and Altun and Akcamete (2019), for the creation of a consistent coding system between activities and BIM elements through an exact match. This choice differs from Montaser and Moselhi (2015), Cheng et al (2017) and Torres-Calderon et al (2019), which used a linguistic-based matching rule. The link code inserted into model elements is often not specified, such as in the study of Ciribini et al (2016).…”

“…The "Activity ID" parameter was used and not detailed. Montaser and Moselhi's (2015) study still requires a manual effort to create the group elements in Revit, which would be the grouping of elements linked to a work package in the MS Project TM . In this regard, the present study advances with the automation of coding the model elements, using native Revit parameters to associate the location and the work package executed.…”

“…In this case, the description of the analyzed activity contains the location's name where it will be executed, possessing a hit accuracy of 81.56% for the project studied when trying to relate the two pieces of information (Torres-Calderon et al, 2019). Montaser and Moselhi (2015) presented an automated method of grouping 3D elements via the name of their respective activities. A template also allows users to import data from MS Project TM into the BIM model developed using Revit API, coded in C # .NET.…”

Purpose Several studies have addressed the use of four-dimensional (4D) building information modeling (BIM) for construction management. However, the automation of the processes for generating 4D models and their integrated use with Location-Based Planning and the Last Planner® System is not well discussed. Therefore, this paper aims to develop a method for automating the generation and use of 4D BIM models integrated with Location-Based Planning and Last Planner® System supporting project control cycles. Design/methodology/approach The research strategy adopted was Design Science Research. The automated method for using the 4D models was developed and refined in two residential building projects in Brazil, along with 31 meetings and involving 11 direct users. The assessment of the proposed method focuses on four constructs: the impact of process automation, the impact on the identification and assessment of site progress and the planning process, ease of adoption and utility of the proposed method. Findings The results of this paper indicated increased adherence between planned and executed through an automated method for using the 4D models. The established routines enabled automating the link between the planning levels and the three-dimensional (3D) model, providing a more agile and updated data source and achieving 92.8% of user satisfaction regarding the deadline and frequency of delivery of the 4D model reports. Moreover, this study identified the relationships between the processes of the method proposed and Digital Models. Originality/value The primary scientific value achieved in this study is creating a method for automating processes and simplifying steps for the generation and use of 4D BIM models in the production planning and control cycles during the construction phase.
