BIM Sequencing

A 4D BIM Model contains the project timeline which shows important construction milestones and can be used for tracking the progress of a project.

We offer a paid service of including your project schedule to be viewed in BIM Compare and BIM View.

What is BIM Sequencing?

BIM Sequencing is a powerful feature that integrates your construction project schedule with your 3D BIM model to visualise the build process over time. Think of it as creating a movie of your construction project, where each scene represents a milestone like foundation completion, steel structure erection, or fit-out phases.

๐Ÿ” With BIM Sequencing, you can:

  • See how the project is expected to unfold step by step.

  • Jump between milestones to track progress.

  • Compare planned vs actual construction using time-synced camera footage.

How Does It Work?

  1. Your BIM Model + Your Schedule:
    Evercam takes your existing 3D model (from tools like Revit, Navisworks or Synchro) and your construction schedule (P6 or Excel).

  2. 4D Timeline Matching:
    The model is linked to project milestones, so you can see the construction evolve over time in the iTwin Viewer (Bentley platform).

    Fair usage: No greater than 60 exposed milestones.

  3. Compare Reality vs Plan:
    See your BIM model side-by-side with real-time site camera footage. This makes project tracking visual and intuitive.

Key Benefits

  • ๐Ÿšง Track Milestones Visually: Understand exactly where the project stands.

  • ๐Ÿ“… Fewer Surprises: Detect delays or misalignments early.

  • ๐Ÿค Easy Communication: Share visual updates with stakeholders.

How to Get Started

To request BIM Sequencing:

  1. ๐Ÿ’ฌ Talk to Your Account Manager:

    • Ask for BIM Sequencing to be added to your deal.

    • Customer to fill up the BIM Services Scoping form.

    • Pricing is per update of the schedule.

  2. ๐Ÿ“ฆ Provide Your Files:

    • BIM model (Revit/Navisworks with edit rights)

    • Project schedule (Excel or P6)

    • Floor/site plans showing zones (and project details for better understanding)

      ๐Ÿ“ฉ Email the Evercam 3D Team: 3d@evercam.io

  3. ๐Ÿ“ž A call to be scheduled with the 3D Team and the customer to discuss the Project Schedule details for alignment.

    • Should not have any changes for the given schedule within the service process.

  4. ๐Ÿ•“ Timeline:

    • ~15 business days on average if manual alignment is needed.

      • subject to the projectโ€™s size and complexity

    • Service includes up to 50 service hours - additional hours will be charged

    • Faster if the schedule is already embedded into your model.

    • A Notification will be sent by the 3D team once the sequencing has been done.

Platform Note

Currently, BIM Sequencing is supported on Bentleyโ€™s iTwin Viewer and Autodesk Forge.
