The most significant benefits of 4D BIM are better visualization of construction work, better communication between project teams and improving project time and cost performance. 4D BIM allows stakeholders to visualize construction activities during project duration and identify potential spatial conflicts and schedule conflicts. Although researches related to 4D BIM has proven the benefits of 4D modeling in construction projects, these benefits are still questionable for EPC projects, whether it can compensate the initial costs and efforts to create the model. The implementation strategies across EPC project lifecycle also become fundamental issue. Through literature studies and structured interviews, this research identifies resource requirements, implementation strategies and the benefits of 4D BIM in improving EPC project performance.
