Delivering a new era in construction planning
Asta 4D is more than a scheduling tool, it’s the centrepiece of a model-based, integrated approach to construction delivery. Model-based planning replaces traditional, fragmented processes with a unified digital workflow, bringing together schedules, 3D models, and teams into a single real-time environment. With Asta 4D and Active4D® engine, planning shifts from static Gantt charts and reactive updates to proactive, data-driven decision making and true collaboration.
Active4D® enables instant synchronisation between your BIM model and project schedule, so as your plans and designs evolve, your schedule evolves with them. This means you can spot risks earlier, accelerate delivery, and keep everyone aligned, making late-stage surprises a thing of the past
Benefits at a glance
- Integrated platform: One unified system for schedules and models. No manual re-entry or fragmented files.
- Real-Time collaboration: Instant updates for all stakeholders, reducing miscommunication and delays.
- Automation & efficiency: Automated schedule creation from 3D models with fewer errors, and faster delivery.
- Decision-making confidence: Earlier identification of risks and opportunities, so teams can act fast.
- Clear, visual planning: Complex plans simplified into rich, interactive visual outputs.

Faster, more accurate decisions = Early issue resolution.

Reduced risk and delays = Real-time sync between models and schedules.

Clear communication = Visual outputs simplify complex plans.
