  • Support the creation of baseline, forecast, and scenario-based 4D simulations.
  • Support schedule reviews by identifying logic gaps, sequencing issues, access constraints, interface conflicts, and constructability concerns.
  • Provide visual schedule analysis to support mitigation planning, recovery plans, and project management decision-making.
  • Contribute to schedule risk discussions by providing visual insight into critical path, near-critical activities, congestion, and execution constraints.
  • Facilitate 4D planning workshops with project stakeholders, including construction, engineering, procurement, subcontractors, and client representatives.
