2.3 Process of Resource Levelling
The process of resource levelling is used to defining the term resources in the project.
It focuses only on the equipment and people. It begins with the initial schedule and work
package resource requirements. It is used to maintain the schedule optimization in the face of
the resource constraints and dependences. It is an approach to project scheduling where by
the activities are start and end dates are determined by the availability of the external and
internal resources. It is used to resolve the over allocations by moving the task start and end
dates or extending the task durations in order to suit the resource availability (Meredith,
2019).

PART 2 - 4D Planning
1. Synchro Pro Software
In this section we are going to use the Synchro Pro software and connecting the date of
building project planning with the specified 3D CAD building model. To use the Synchro Pro
by using below steps (blog.synchroltd.com, 2019),
First, convert the MS project file to XML format.
After, open the Synchro Pro software and it is represented as below.
Click file to choose the Import to Import the MS project file. It is illustrated as below
(www.4dplanning.com, 2019).
30

31

Once, import the XML file for project plan, you we will the project scheduling plan
on Synchro Pro software which is illustrated as below.
32

After, identified the issue which is occurred on the tasks limit. So, reduce the tasks,
after it supported to successfully import the project management data file. The proposed plans
and changes are listed in below.

2. 4D Planning
The 4D planning is used to visualizing the schedule which is based on building the
information modelling. The building information modelling (BIM) is a project that came to
revolutionize the work flow of the AEC industry. It is focuses to linking the 3D geometrical
models with scheduling and time (www.projectcontrolacademy.com, 2019). The 4D planning
is used to combine the other scheduling method which is used to facilitate the communication
35

and decision making through the planning and construction phase. It is a rising system which
consolidates the 3D CAD models with exercises of development and furthermore it
sufficiently interfaces the hole between the booking, development and structure. It is very
regular by utilizing the conventional techniques for planning, for example, basic way
strategy, Gantt diagram and these are utilized to recognize the challenges synchronization
either with the structure and continuous development. It additionally bolsters the techniques
for planning strengthening the schedule dependability and makes the exact and subtleties the
work breakdown structure dependent on the sources. It has three methodologies are created
using the BIM promise in planning. Initial one is identified with the time which can be
accomplished by determining the developments period of every individual component that is
imagined by visual recreation of schedule. The second one is familiar to consolidating the
BIM segment and development technique data which is utilized to upgrade the action
arrangement. The third one is to concerns the relationship of 4D planning.
Favourable Benefits of 4D planning is represented as below.
• Communication - The representation of the 4D planning is utilized to gives the
productive correspondence among all the venture partners and it abusing the
potential outcomes of catching the both spatial and transient parts of a scheduling.
It is utilized to reduce the irregularities (Heerkens, 2015).
• Site Management - It the difficult part in development the executives at the same
