Bar chart is essentially an abstract representation of sequences of activities that make of a project. As a project planning and controlling tool, bar chart’s weakness includes lacks of capability in providing a comprehensive representation of time, space, and complexity of the project being examined. This paper describes an investigative attempt to enhance bar chart scheduling model by incorporating graphical representation of project planning and progress into the chart. The first approach aims at improving the graphical quality of a simple bar chart commonly used construction project. An enhanced bar chart model developed around a simple spreadsheet-based bar chart application, where each bar was treated as an object having specific graphical properties. Each bar in the model contains graphical information about the design and actual construction progress, ranging from simple still photo to a short video of project progress. The other approach is more advanced, were a 4D planning application was developed by adding the time scheduling aspect into a 3D visualization construction models; thus creating the fourth dimension of planning model.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]3D Visualization,4-D planning,Abstract representation,Bar chart,Construction model,Construction planning,Construction projects,Effective tool,Graphical information,GraphicaL model,Graphical representations,Planning models,Project planning,Scheduling models,Time scheduling[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]3D/4D visualization,Bar charts,Construction planning and scheduling,Graphical model[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
