In the construction industry, planning and scheduling are considered as an integral part of the project. The current scenario in the construction industry is the adoption of various software for planning, designing, execution and quantities take-off. Among the various software, the Building Information Modeling (BIM) has gained popularity in the construction industry. The Indian construction industry has not gained popularity with the BIM, so this study aims to simplify implementation of BIM for Indian construction industry. BIM involves the generation and management of digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of the structure. The case study involves proposed commercial complex for Palghar district. The study involves the development of a three-dimensional (3D) model in Autodesk Revit Architecture 2016 for architectural drawing, followed by the Microsoft Project 2013 for scheduling the activities for construction and simulation of four-dimensional (4D) model i.e. (3D + time) in Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2018. This study provides a stepwise procedure to develop a 4D model, with the expectation that it will allow the planners to visualize the construction with a passage of time at the planning stage itself.
