Course Description
This course offers a practical and strategic immersion into the SYNCHRO suite, focusing primarily on SYNCHRO 4D for virtual construction planning, scheduling, and simulation. You will also explore the ecosystem of SYNCHRO tools—including Field, Control, Perform, and Cost—to understand how to integrate field data, manage project performance, and control construction budgets.
You’ll begin by learning the fundamentals of SYNCHRO 4D: navigating the interface, importing models and schedules, creating filters, assigning resources, and simulating growth and equipment transformations. Through guided exercises, you'll gradually advance to rendering animations and generating project reports.
The course then expands into a broader overview of SYNCHRO’s role in managing construction delivery, comparing platform capabilities from field inspections to cost oversight. Finally, you'll perform a comparative analysis between Bentley SYNCHRO and Autodesk Navisworks, allowing you to make informed decisions for real-world application.

Goals
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:- Navigate and operate SYNCHRO 4D for 4D scheduling and visual construction simulations
- Import schedules and 3D models, apply filters, and assign resources to tasks
- Create appearance profiles, simulate construction sequences, and generate animations
- Understand the purpose and application of SYNCHRO Field, Control, Perform, and Cost
- Analyze and compare SYNCHRO 4D with alternative tools like Autodesk Navisworks
- Leverage SYNCHRO's digital twin capabilities to manage project performance and costs
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of construction management or BIM modeling is recommended. Familiarity with scheduling concepts and 3D modeling tools is helpful but not required.
