In the context of the development and establishment of Building Information Modeling in the construction sector. the so-called four-dimensional Building Information Modeling has been developed as a new method of scheduling the construction process. Within the scope of this case study, it is to be analyzed which requirements have to be fulfilled to successfully implement 4D-BIM-supported process modeling and which software can be used to do so. The investigated software products are: Autodesk:Navisworks, Bentley Synchro Pro and Bexel Manager. In order to review the functionality and applicability of the method, the basics of conven- tional process management in the construction industry are first presented. Then, BIM and how 4D BIM process modeling works will be explained, as well as the benefits that can be derived from an application. The software products used in the case study are examined in terms of their features, support of different data types, and integration of APIs. As part of the case study, the data and model basis as well as the implementation methodology were first presented. Subsequently, the implementation process in the respective software products was described, examined in terms of its suitability for scheduling and finally compared with the other products applied.     «
