The process provides the project participants and primarily the project managers with the ability to analyze and visualize multiple design alternatives in order to develop the most cost-effective and constructable solutions. It consequently allows for better control and decision making over different constructability issues and schedule scenarios providing in this manner a linkage between constructability 4D and cost estimating. The time and the cost required for the development initially of the 3D model and sequentially the 4D model restrict the use of the process to projects with constructability and or visualization issues. In these cases it is considered necessary for the understanding of the construction sequence and budget issues from all the project participants. Especially in large scale projects it can also facilitate the decision-making allowing for faster authorization. The applications of this process include all civil works such as buildings civil infrastructure and industrial projects. It could also be used both within an owner and a contractor organization while developing their cost estimates and or reviewing constructability plans. The anticipated benefits and the long term contributions of this research are expected to be numerous. The proposed process allows for improving the information exchange within the AEC industry by providing a better communication of building related information between the design and construction phases in a project. Since the scheduler uses the data generated by the designer cost estimates become more accurate and margins for errors and omissions in schedule are reduced. Avoiding reentering data and filling the communication gaps money and time are saved as the information is directly received from the 3D model. The proposed method addresses interoperability and brings the
