BL-BEX-03 · BIMLabs training programme
Advanced BEXEL Manager: 4D Planning, Methodology and Zoning
Develop a repeatable 4D planning workflow using project zones, construction methodology, creation templates and a validated schedule.
Who this programme is for
BEXEL users, planners, engineers and BIM leads developing model-based construction sequencing.
Before you start: BEXEL Manager Fundamentals or equivalent practical experience. Familiarity with construction sequencing and schedule logic is expected.
Learning outcomes
- Define location-based zones and relationships using suitable model breakdowns and selection sets.
- Build a construction methodology with work sequences and logical relationships.
- Combine zones and methodology in a creation template and generate an initial schedule.
- Review task durations, dependencies, critical path and feasible resource assumptions.
- Use 4D simulation and schedule reports to identify and communicate sequencing issues.
Programme outline
4D planning requirements
Define the purpose, level of detail, model readiness and planning assumptions.
Breakdowns and spatial zoning
Create suitable CBS and selection sets; define zones, spatial organisation and zone relationships.
Construction methodology
Create or import a methodology and check work sequences and logical dependencies.
Creation templates and schedule generation
Combine zones and methodology and generate a first schedule with tasks and relationships.
Schedule validation and refinement
Review durations, calendars, dependencies, critical path, line of balance and resource constraints where applicable.
Simulation and planning review
Create and review the 4D simulation, record issues and present a planning narrative and improvement actions.
Practical assessment
A zone-and-methodology-based scheduling exercise, assessed for logical sequencing, traceable assumptions and a clear 4D review.
What you will develop
- A zone breakdown and methodology structure
- A pilot creation template and generated schedule
- A 4D simulation review record
- A planning assumptions and validation checklist
Single-company and multi-company delivery
Available as single-company (mono-business) training or multi-company (multi-business) training. Single-company delivery is adapted to an agreed company workflow; multi-company delivery uses a common training dataset and learning objectives.
Participation, scope and delivery arrangements are agreed around the training needs and the format. The assigned trainer is confirmed for each delivery.
Automated schedule generation supports the planner’s work; the resulting programme must be reviewed against project constraints and professional judgement.
Programme outline prepared for review. No scheduled dates or HRDA approval are confirmed by this listing. Any subsidy is subject to the relevant scheme and eligibility requirements.
