Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate strategies for the representation and analysis of construction planning and control using 4D BIM Models, based on the views of Brazilian construction industry professionals. The study involved a literature review, a case study in a construction project using the planning and control model and the development and application of a digital questionnaire to evaluate the potentials and strategies applied to the industry's professionals. The survey questionnaire included questions on strategies for representation and analysis using colours to differentiate internal activities, alternatives to monitor the physical advance through Planned x Realized schedules simulation and their visualization on split screens, as well as an evaluation about the adoption of 4D Models. The results obtained indicate the degrees of importance and applicability of the analysed aspects from the point of view of the participants, who were view and stratified according to their knowledge level about BIM, academic degree, practice area and educational level.
