4D and 5D BIM Services in the USA

We tie your model to your schedule and your budget. 4D shows how the build sequences over time. 5D links it to cost, so you can plan, phase, and value-engineer with confidence.

A phasing plan is hard to read off 2D drawings and a Gantt chart. 4D and 5D BIM make it clear. Excelize connects your model to time and cost, so your team, your trades, and your owner work from the same plan.

Time and cost, on one model What we deliver
What It Is

What are 4D and 5D BIM?

4D BIM adds time to the model. It links each element to the construction schedule, so the build sequence can be reviewed week by week and problems caught before the field. 5D BIM adds cost. It ties quantities and rates to the model, so a design change updates the budget too. Excelize builds 4D sequences and 5D cost models for U.S. contractors and owners in Navisworks, Synchro, and Revit.

What We Deliver

What our 4D and 5D BIM service includes

4D construction sequencing

Your schedule linked to the model, so the build plays out as a timeline anyone can follow.

Phasing and logistics

Site setup, access, and phasing modeled, so you can plan the messy parts before they happen.

5D cost linking

Quantities and rates tied to the model, so cost moves when the design moves.

Value engineering support

Compare options by time and cost, not by guesswork.

Look-ahead and progress views

Weekly look-aheads and progress tracked against the plan.

Owner and stakeholder visuals

Clear simulations that make the plan land in a meeting.

Our Process

Our 4D and 5D BIM process

01

Model and schedule intake

We line up your model, your schedule, and your cost data.

02

Linking

Elements linked to schedule activities for 4D, and to cost codes for 5D.

03

Simulation and check

We run the sequence and flag clashes in time and gaps in logic.

04

Review

We walk it with you and adjust the plan together.

05

Handoff

Simulations, views, and reports in your formats.

Tools & Standards

4D and 5D BIM tools and standards we use

01

Software

Navisworks and Synchro for 4D, Revit and cost tools for 5D, inside your CDE.

02

Standards

AIA G202 and BIMForum LOD, your BEP, and U.S. estimating practice.

03

Inputs

Your Revit model, your schedule (P6 or MS Project), and your cost data or codes.

04

Formats

Navisworks and Synchro files, video simulations, and cost reports.

Where We Apply It

Why It Matters

Why 4D and 5D BIM pay off

A sequencing problem found in a simulation costs nothing. The same problem found on site costs a week. 4D lets you rehearse the build before you pour anything. 5D keeps the budget honest as the design moves, so there are no surprises when the numbers come due.
