What's Included
Here’s what we deliver when you engage us for 4D BIM sequencing.
Schedule Integration
Our coordinators integrate your project schedules (Microsoft Project, Primavera P6) with the BIM model, producing a time-linked simulation of construction.
1080p Video
We produce a high-quality 4D animation, delivered in up to 3 distinct camera views for tender or stakeholder presentations.
Fast Delivery
We guarantee delivery of your 4D sequences within three weeks*, ensuring you’re ready for project submissions.
Here's what our clients have to say.
With the help of Bimeco, we've managed to work with them to cover up gaps in our documentation by scanning some as-built structures to BIM. It has really saved us when manpower is tight during a labor crunch
Catherine Li,
BIM Manager
The types of HVAC systems that are manufactured by our firm were really complex and needed to be modelled into our GC's federated BIM environment. With Bimeco I was able to get the support needed.

Our 4D Construction Workflow
Our streamlined approach ensures quality 4D BIM delivery.
Upload Files
Share your CAD plans, 3D models, or schedules on the Bimeco Platform. Our team reviews the files within 2 working days.
Build the 4D
We use industry-leading tools like Synchro 4D to link your schedule with the BIM model, creating a realistic construction sequence.
Video Review
We prepare up to 3 recommended viewpoints and refine the sequence based on your feedback. Final videos are shared via the Bimeco Platform.
Best 4D Software
We use best-in-class technology such as Synchro 4D, Revit, Oracle Primavera P6, and Microsoft Project to develop compelling construction sequences.
Benefits of 4D BIM
Why leading consultants and contractors incorporate 4D BIM.
Deliver Ahead of Schedule
Using Critical Path Analysis, contractors can sequence complex, concurrent site activities to find the fastest route to completion. Studies report up to 20% reductions in overall project lead times.
Win More Bids
4D BIM showcases your ability to execute complex site works. Including 4D simulations in tender submissions often improves win rates, with measurable improvements in contractor selection outcomes.
Reduce Project Risks
Complex schedules in MS Project or Primavera P6 can be difficult for site teams to interpret. A 4D BIM sequence turns them into an intuitive, time-linked animation that helps crews coordinate work and reduce overruns.
Our 4D Projects
We have delivered countless 4D BIM projects. Here are some highlights.
Civil Walkthrough for Airport
Integrated the tender BIM model with the construction schedule in Synchro 4D to showcase how the airport’s tunnels connect, providing stakeholders with a clear, phased walkthrough of the substructure.
Safety Demo for Industrial Plant
Produced a facility walkthrough using the as-built BIM model, providing an engaging tool for safety training, presentations, and marketing campaigns.
DE 107 Rail Project
Combined a BIM model with an Oracle Primavera P6 schedule to visualize the construction sequence of an underground station.
Frequently asked questions
- What exactly will you deliver if we engage you for 4D BIM?
- We deliver a 4D BIM model that links construction activities to your schedule, allowing stakeholders to visualize the build sequence over time. Deliverables can range from tender-level simulations to fully detailed LOD 500 models.
- Do we need a BIM model ready before engaging you?
- Not necessarily. If you already have a BIM model, we can integrate it directly with your schedule. If not, our BIM team can help develop one based on your drawings and project requirements.
- How accurate is the 4D sequence?
- Accuracy depends on the detail of your schedule and model. With a well-defined programme and coordinated BIM model, our 4D simulations closely reflect site progress and potential risks.
- How long does it take to prepare a 4D BIM sequence?
- Setup typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on project size and model quality. We also update the sequence as your schedule evolves to keep it aligned with project milestones.
- What software do you use?
- We primarily use Synchro 4D and Navisworks, but can adapt to client-specified platforms. Models can be delivered in native formats (e.g., Revit, Archicad, Tekla) and open standards such as IFC.
