For the past two decades, 3D/4D CAD research has heel mainly focused on the design and construction phase of a facility life-cycle. However, there has been a general notion that the strength of 3D/4D CAD lends itself to other phases such as planning, operation and maintenance. In this research, a 3D/4D CAD model was generated in a commercial software platform. Then, the traditional 1:fe cycle facility management procedures are reviewed to, see any possible improvement opportunity with the 3D/4D CAD model as an example. A focus group interview, in conjuction with an extensive literature review, produced the list of area where 3D/4D CAD model could significantly benefit the traditional life cycle facility practices. Finally, a questionnaire-based survey was conducted with 155 respondents to statistically verify the feasibility of 3D/4D CAD for life cycle facility management.

Recently. our construction industry is using 4D-CAD system but the public Database (DB) for the 4D-CAD system is insufficiently built. It is difficult to connect 4D-CAD system information such as schedule, drawings. Therefore this study suggest a methodology to link the 4D-CAD system information with work breakdown structure(WBS) and the methodology suggested in this study was applied to a 4D-CAD system

Recently, various 4D CAD systems for visualizing construction schedule data are being developed. Specially, in case of railway project, the numerical information of progress data should be changed with visualized data by long construction section because the railway project consists of long length in construction site. This study suggests a case study of development of 4D CAD system for visualizing schedule information and the major functions of developed system are verified by railway project. The detailed application procedure of 4D CAD system including input data for a railway project is described in the study. The practical application of 4D CAD system can be improved in railway project by these demonstration researches.

This paper represents the application of the 3D CAD Model data for 4D simulation and quantity estimation. These support the effective and practical use of 4D CAD model. By using and manipulating the 3D CAD model information, scheduling and quantity estimation could be developed more quickly and effectively. So the 3D CAD model information is made use of not only drawing a blueprint but also playing an important part of data integration platform. The scheduling module sets up the schedule generation logic that consists of period, priority of element arrangement, and time lag of floor placement. It sorts the working items as a priority of working process. And the quantity estimation module queries the material quantity of the structural elements according to the scheduling conditions. These two modules are developed using the 3D CAD model information and assist the function of 4D CAD model.

Cost and schedule are the major concerns for the successful construction project management. The four dimensional CAD (4D CAD) integrating graphical data and scheduling data has also been an area of research interests for improving construction controls. In order to achieve the benefits from these areas in an integrated way, this study proposes a 4D-EVMS system for the owners. Managerial requirements for cost and schedule control for the owners are identified first. A 4D-EVMS model is then proposed which provides functional flexibility in order to enhance the efficiency of the system. Lessons learned and practical implications are briefly summarize.

This study suggests a methodology for organizing functions of nD CAD model which 4D object is linked with cost and resource information. And the suggested model is composed of process analysis function of plant project based on visualized scenario analysis. That is, it is possible to manage effectively not only construction schedule plan, but also resource and cost information by integrating construction management information into nD CAD object. And the suggested model can be utilized as information of a effective decision-making tool through analyzing of optimal process scenario and sharing of an analyzed information.

Virtual reality (VR) technology for construction project includes 3D CAD application and 4D CAD system for visualizing construction schedule data. 3D CAD application is more important in the design phase and 4D CAD system is effective tool in the construction phase. This study suggests a methodology to develop VR functions that can be used for project life cycle. The results of this study includes composition algorithms to make VR systems such as bird's eye view system, VR drawings system, VR telepresence system and VR risk management system. Those methodologies can be used for integrated VR system with nD CAD object.

Plant project is a complex project that consists of civil engineering, building, mechanical and electronic works. The schedule management is one of important factors in plant project because the construction duration of the project is very short comparing with the other construction projects. Specially, 4D CAD system needs to visualize construction schedule information in those complex projects. This study suggests methodologies for improving 4D CAD functions by considering those project characteristics. To develop a plant 4D CAD system, this study includes to develop new functions by analyzing actual schedule information from the plant construction sites.
