Abstract
This research explores the points of view of practitioners regarding the challenges associated with 4D BIM in Quebec. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected, through an online survey and interviews with various professionals, to understand the current challenges associated with the use of 4D simulation in the construction industry. The importance of certain challenges, from the perspectives of different professionals, are determined, particularly in terms of organization and contracts, IT infrastructures and software, and staff training. The results proposed a new perspective based on the opinions of professionals in the construction industry in Quebec regarding the issues surrounding 4D simulation.
