The programme you can see.
SEQUENCE · PHASING · PROGRESS
The programme linked to the model — sequence, phasing and progress you can see.
4D ties the schedule to the geometry, so sequence and phasing become something you watch rather than read. A programme linked to the model shows progress against plan in a way a bar chart never can.
Seen this way, clashes in time — not just space — surface early, while the sequence can still be changed cheaply.
