Lookahead is the module where a project's planning is managed at a more detailed and micro level. Under the Lookahead, the planning will be focused on both construction sequences (tasks) and preparation works (Constraints). It is the combination of project planning and project scheduling. To learn more about what Masterplan alone is used for in Lean PlanDo, please click here. In this series of articles, we will be focusing on Lookahead + BIM integration.

Lookahead + BIM view provides us the more detailed plan of the project with activities, tasks, constraints and BIM model together. Refer to the picture below for an overview of the features and functions available in Lookahead + BIM:

In the subsequent articles, we will be explaining what each feature and function does to allow you to plan in 4D with convenience:
