SYNCHRO: 4D Planning | Unlocking the Future of Digital Construction | Roundtable Discussion

This panel discussion from September is for SYNCHRO series explores the evolving role of 4D construction planning in modern project delivery. Industry experts share practical insights on how digital construction tools are transforming collaboration between design, engineering, and construction teams. Moderator & panelists: James Smith (Majenta Solutions) Paweł Krecz (KREBO) Chris Brown (Oakwood) Christos Soupalikas (McLaren COnstruction) Jason Neff (Barton Malow) Kailash (Arth) The conversation highlights how early planning, model–schedule integration, and strong field engagement help teams improve decision-making, reduce risk, and enhance project outcomes. Real-world experiences demonstrate how 4D planning supports logistics coordination, resource optimisation, and better communication across complex projects. Key topics include: - The importance of early-stage planning and stakeholder buy-in How 4D modelling improves collaboration and “digital rehearsal” of construction works; - Integration of 4D tools with scheduling systems and data analytics platforms; - Real project applications including major infrastructure and complex urban builds; - Benefits in risk mitigation, logistics planning, and procurement alignment; - Challenges such as model detail management, scheduling granularity, and data consistency; - The growing role of AI, computer vision, IoT, and automation in future construction workflows. The discussion also reflects on how field teams increasingly benefit from visual construction planning, enabling clearer understanding of sequencing, safer execution, and improved on-site decision-making. Overall, the session provides a forward-looking view on how 4D technology is shaping the future of construction delivery and project controls. #RoundtableDiscussion #ConstructionTechnology #SYNCHRO4D #4DModeling #IndustryLeaders
