4D NavisWorks TimeLiner Service

Our service bureau creates the 3D models required for 4D and provides additional resources for construction companies using NavisWorks TimeLiner. We provide a fast turn-around for our clients who can be sure that as experts in 4D we understand the process and what must be achieved. Where necessary we can advise you on the best way to set up the model so the desired results are right first time. We provide service to all levels of 4D. Depending on the brief we can include MEP services as either fully modelled or design spaces that can be programmed as activities. We provide a two tiered service to support this;

(i) TIMELINER READY SERVICE - MODELLING ONLY

(ii) FULL TIMELINER SERVICE - PREPARED 4D MODELS

TimeLiner Ready

This service includes converting the 2D project drawings into 3D models ready for TimeLiner. This process includes breaking up the model in accordance with the program and instructions (e.g. slabs into pours) so the model will reflect the programme. The 3D models are delivered in your CAD format of choice and in NWD format and ready for planners to start using TimeLiner right away. The client does the linking in-house, and should the design or circumstances change we are always on hand to make any modifications to the model that might be required. Our standard deliverables include:

1) A 3D CAD model in your choice of format
2) The 3D models in NavisWorks NWD format
3) An IFC file so that the model may be used for BIM analysis

Full TimeLiner Service
Our full service is aimed at companies who own TimeLiner, but for reasons of speed or limited resources require a 4D model to be made in accordance with their instructions and delivered ready to go. In this instance we create the 3D models with reference to the program and make the links in TimeLiner. We then fully check that the model is as best it can be given the information supplied and deliver the 4D model to the client’s planners who can then take the model to the next stage using their own copy of NavisWorks. Our deliverables include:

1) A 3D CAD model in your choice of format
2) The 3D models in NavisWorks NWD format
3) A 4D NavisWorks TimeLiner file
4) An IFC file so the model may be used for BIM analysis

Our prices for creating NavisWorks TimeLiner models are the most competitive around and our comprehensive delivery policy will maximise the value you can obtain from the 4D process.
