Laydown Plan vs. BIM 4D tools
BIM 4D tools link a 3D model to the schedule for detailed sequencing. They're powerful and they need a model, a specialist, and time. Laydown Plan is simplified 4D: a 2D plan per level plus dates, that a coordinator can set up in ten minutes.
Choose BIM 4D when
- You have a coordinated 3D model and need detailed construction sequencing.
Choose Laydown Plan when
- You need everyone on site to see who is where, this week and next.
- Projects come and go and nobody owns a model of the whole site.
- Contractors, tenants, and operations staff need a link, not software.
