Abstract :Planning is one of the advancements in Building Information Modeling insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BIM); domain which enables the practitioner to visualize the relation of time with 3D objects. Notwithstanding the fruitful existing studies, the awareness of the practitioners concerning 4D-BIM features is not sufficient. Moreover, the construction industry suffers from the lack of features of the existing 4D-BIM software. Furthermore, the existing features vary from software to software due to a lack of awareness with respect to the importance of the features of 4D-BIM. These drawbacks result in unsuccessful 4D-BIM applications in the construction industry. Therefore, this study aims to define 4D-BIM features and detect their importance in the construction industry. Hence, 4D-BIM features were detected via an in-depth literature review and a Focus Group Discussion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FGD); conducted with 10 experts. Consequently, 16 4D-BIM features were detected. Later, the features were evaluated by 35 experts who have experience in the 4D-BIM domain, and the obtained data were analyzed via Relative Importance Index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RII); method to detect the significance levels of 4D-BIM features. As a result, the significance level of each feature was found to be greater than 0.5 according to RII method, which indicates that each of the features in 4D-BIM has critical importance in the planning of the project. It is highly believed that this study will pave the way for future 4D-BIM-related studies as well as increase the awareness of the practitioners, software developers and researchers in terms of the current needs of the construction industry.
