Abstract

Three‐dimensional (3‐D) computer aided design (CAD) and its integration with project schedules (4‐D CAD) are promising technologies in design and construction. This paper represents a second study on the effectiveness of visualization on project planning. While the initial study investigated 2‐D, 3‐D and walk‐thru technologies’ impact on project schedule development, the subsequent study reported herein, focuses on the impact of 3‐D/4‐D visualization on project schedule review. Experimental results provide quantitative evidence of the advantages of 3‐D/4‐D representations for schedule review for construction projects.
