Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to explain recent research on the costs and benefits of 4D CAD technology to determine if it can benefit the U.S. Navy in management of its construction projects. The report will begin with a brief history of project management and the development of 4D computer based models. Sections 3 and 4 will discuss advantages and disadvantages of using 4D programs. An overview of the Navy's organization, mission, and construction management team will be presented for understanding the 4D CAD implementation plan discussed in section 6. The report will conclude with a financial analysis to determine what size and type of Navy project 4D CAD would be most economically useful for.
