N2 - In complex construction projects, superintendents need to coordinate equipment space requirements and allocate workspaces to major pieces of equipment properly to avoid equipment related spatial conflicts. These spatial conflicts can cause delays at the start and at the completion of activities resulting in possible late completion of a project and in claims between involved parties. Currently, some commercially available 4D CAD systems enable spatial representations of the dynamic motions of equipment operations. This paper discusses the technical capabilities of a commercially available 4D CAD system to model, visualize, communicate, and coordinate spaces required by equipment. It summarizes the benefits and limitations of equipment space representations on a large-scale construction project using a 4D CAD simulation system and states some recommendations for improvement.
