Explore how 4D construction simulation helps enhance planning, communication, safety, and more as well as how to implement 4D for your next project in this blog post

Explore the profound impact of 3D modeling on construction site logistics planning through cmBuilder.io. Beyond traditional 2D blueprints, the ability to adopt 3D modeling offers in-depth visualization, improved collaboration, and proactive error mitigation when planning site logistics. With cmBuilder's accessible web-based platform, harness the benefits of 3D modeling for enhanced safety, stakeholder engagement, cost efficiency, and adaptability in large-scale construction projects.

The advent of modern technology has revolutionized the construction industry, notably in the areas of as-built reality capture and construction site logistics.

Let’s talk site logistics! From the initial site setup to bulk and detailed excavation sequencing, to the positioning of temporary resources and workers on the construction site, accurate logistics planning is critical in ensuring the an efficient and productive project. Without proper planning in preconstruction, the cost of manpower, materials and equipment delays affect overall project timelines. As Brent Olund, Vice-President of Sustainable Construction says, “for every extra hour spent in pre-planning it saves more than 4 hours on site during construction.” In this blog, we will discuss site logistics and the keys to effectively planning this process.

Let’s talk about tower cranes! These tall and slender figures are a staple of construction sites and take on the bulk of the heavy lifting on site. Tower cranes are among the largest pieces of equipment used in construction projects. Construction crews use tower cranes to lift heavy materials such as concrete and steel. In this blog, we will discuss all things tower cranes and some basic considerations when working with this equipment.
