Construction SCHEDULING in SketchUp with Phases 4D! (New Extension from John Brock!)

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about Phases 4D in the comments below! :)

[@jackwallace15]

Hi Justin, is this a permanent license for the Phases extension, or subscription?

Quick question: What are the standard sizes when designing a layout of a house or an apartment? For example: How thick are external walls compared to internal walls? Do kitchen countertops have a standard depth? Are there standard dimensions for doors? etc...& etc

[@BrockWorksInc]

Thanks for the feature Justin! I will note any suggestions your listeners suggest/request. Thanks!

Really cool, was waiting for a similar extension for a long time. Hopefully John will add Gantt chart soon, to visualise phases of the build. (and if he adds export/import for MS Project - this will be absolutely awesome)

[@BrockWorksInc]

Hey! Thanks! Good suggestions and certainly features I would love to add. I spent a lot of money getting it to this stage and will be adding features in the future. I really want to add cost to Phases and currently integrating it with my Estimator for SketchUp extension. Stay tuned and thanks again for the feedback!

@@BrockWorksInc Thanks, John. If you want to hear how I consider using it in our work (warehousing, planning sites transformation and preparing/building areas for new clients. In a major 3PL business) - give me a shout, happy to share.

​@@BrockWorksInc Hi John - really impressed with this tool you have made in Sketchup. I also do a lot of phasing work in Sketchup but have had to push the model to Navisworks and Synchro in the past. Even though the addition of integration with MS project through perhaps an MPX file or direct integration with Primavera would be incredible, even at this early stage integration of an excel based .CSV file that contains TASK ID, TASK, PLANNED START, PLANNED END and TASK TYPE would be a powerful start point. At the moment I push all my work to Navisworks if my client wants a timeline based animation, but I like @dimav83 have also been looking a long long time for a proper 4D Sequencer for Sketchup. Here in NZ a lot of people use Sketchup for construction staging because of the ease of use (mostly builders) and the connection to the 3D warehouse for cranes/barriers etc.

Whaoo. It's very cool. I have a question. Can we link Phases 4D to MS Project ?

This is great 🎉

[@Mrc4str0]

Looks promising. Gj

[@Smurfy2907]

Also if it can export the bar chart or something like that itll be awesome Nice video brother :)

[@patrykgrzyb2776]

Do you think it will work with kitchen quotation. [ I would like add price to each cabinet + doors per sqm / door types + fittings].

Hello! Adding costs in our next feature we want to add, but not sure when that will be. I want it badly though!
