#4D for programme communication: 1. Complex #construction 2. Constrained urban site 3. First class project team Another model from our archives, working with the brilliant @WeAreMcAlpine at 21 Moorfields, London for @LandsecGroup More real-world examples coming soon

Construction is tough. We face: Cost overruns💰 Safety challenges⚠ Adversarial environments😠 Improved planning and control is the solution. Use 4D planning to: Plan as a team💡 Reduce risks ☑ Manage time🕑

4D planning is not complicated. It's a method that pays for itself many times over if you're doing it correctly. Don't focus on the outputs. Just start. ▶ Hire skilled modellers ▶ Make a basic plan for using it ▶ Do a pilot project (a complex one)

4D and reality capture ▶ Described as 'Google Earth on steroids', @sensat_ai helps project teams to see their infrastructure project and more confidently make the right decisions. Imagine this with ultra-detail 4D on top...

Bigger is better! Don’t build ultra-high detail 4D models and then only review them on small screens. We've partnered with @MissionRoomLtd on recent projects, with brilliant results: ⚡ @Bentley_SYNCHRO interaction ⚡ Greatly improved engagement ⚡ Teams can work as teams

@AshleyBIM @xyz_reality For 4D and AR, it's early days. Lots of previous trials using Hololens and phone AR, but this will be more interesting using XYZ. No doubt it'll be contractor driven at first.

@James4D @xyz_reality How much client demand is there for this service? Is it mainly contractor driven? Great vid 👏👏👏

What happens when you combine ultra-high detail 4D models with Engineering Grade AR™ ? Awesome results. 1️⃣ Contextual safety reviews: see your planned work on site 2️⃣ Real-world look ahead planning 3️⃣ Incredible on-site trade co-ordination Check out @xyz_reality

Large construction projects often go over time & budget. One cause for this - interdependency & variability of large networks of linked activities. 4D can help resolve this this by providing visual clarity.

@iriacarreira Did it help you write this tweet?

Using chatGPT to plan everything this week 🤣 so far it has helped me to do the grocery list for the week with my meal plan, running training schedule and draft some blog post...insane. Thanks AI

@CaseyRutland @AshleyBIM @bondbryanBIM @mo_shanaa The ZERO Board, ZERO Next, and some guest authors from the ZERO Playbook. We'll invite from our side Casey. We're going to need a bigger event 🤔💡

@AshleyBIM @James4D @bondbryanBIM @mo_shanaa This sounds like the creation of the invite list for the nima x bSUKI x ZERO event in January! Who else should we include?

All these different carbon calculators being promoted but without a published standard for BIM to measure consistently across tools/organisations/projects the results will always be questionable and largely meaningless.

@bondbryanBIM @AshleyBIM OK fantastic. Let's meet up in a few weeks. @AshleyBIM ... what do you think, another playbook module in the measurement or digital pillar?

@James4D @AshleyBIM Yes of course James. Happy to show you what I believe we need to actually to do this too.

@BuildLaw_ArtTea @zer0construct Thanks May, great to catch up albeit briefly yesterday. ZERO growing fast and its been an amazing journey so far!

Have so much respect and love for @zer0construct - a group and movement truly taking tangible steps to progress #NetZero and #Sustainability. @James4D

@zer0construct @archinate It's already gone out to tender. Construction begins 2040 "Futuristic forested monorail optimistic zero carbon city --ar 10:15"

@archinate Significant chance of it being @James4D 😂

@theCIOB Hi @theCIOB ... any chance that we could catch up about the work we're doing here in zeroconstruct.com ? It would be good to share ideas and combine forces!

We signed this letter to call for meaningful action on climate change and net zero - which must be a priority for the next UK Prime Minister. #ciob #sustainability #climatechange #netzero #construction #architecture #surveying

@TheB1M Good to see "net zero emissions". How have the (presumably very large) embodied emissions been dealt with?

This supertall skyscraper will forever change New York's skyline. #architecture #construction #skyscraper #NewYork

@robertklaschka @liccle_em @AshleyBIM @for59j54 @zer0construct It's (one of) the worst for doing this. To the detriment of everything we do. @ZERONext_Gen

@liccle_em @James4D @AshleyBIM @for59j54 @zer0construct Not in itself a reason not to enthusiastically embrace the under thirties, more a wider point about how bad our industry is at truly embracing diversity.

Interesting start to a "Visualising #Carbon using #BIM" presentation "We are looking for young people under the age of 30 to help us lead....no middle-aged, 50 year old men 😅" Can you say that? ...."We want young radicals" 😂 So I am over 30 so I am out of it

@AshleyBIM @liccle_em @for59j54 @zer0construct 😏 it starts at different times for us all... and you know it when you reach it

@liccle_em @for59j54 @zer0construct @James4D Ask @James4D

@for59j54 @AshleyBIM @zer0construct I did not flinch

@AshleyBIM @zer0construct @James4D Paraphrasing of course. Looking forward to the recording 😂

@for59j54 @zer0construct Thanks for this John. You're very welcome in ZERO any time, we've just completed round one of our topic workshops and more coming soon. Would really value your views and insight. Register here - form.typeform.com/to/hAF4OEiA

@zer0construct Thats good. It wasnt made clear that a specific group called “zero next” was only for under 30s. It sounded like @zer0construct is only looking for under 30s. I am doubtful to be the only one who had that understanding. I left shortly after as I assumed I wouldn’t be able to join
