comm<strong>on</strong> problems faced in the c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> projects with enhanced <strong>planning</strong><br />
efficiency.<br />
5.2 Recommendati<strong>on</strong>s for further research<br />
After c<strong>on</strong>ducting the studies it is prominent that 4D <str<strong>on</strong>g>modeling</str<strong>on</strong>g> is beneficial for the<br />
c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> <strong>planning</strong> <strong>process</strong>. A good topic to study further can be how much<br />
beneficial is 4D <str<strong>on</strong>g>modeling</str<strong>on</strong>g> for the c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> <strong>planning</strong>, that is, if it is highly effective<br />
or not? And if it is highly effective then why it is not yet widely accepted within the<br />
c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> industry? These subjects, however, were not covered in the initial<br />
purposes <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the thesis and hence, be suggested as topics <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> research for future studies.<br />
In future research, the validity and reliability <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the study should be increased by<br />
c<strong>on</strong>ducting practical interviews or surveys with c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> project stakeholders.<br />
Furthermore, applying 4D <str<strong>on</strong>g>modeling</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> runtime projects <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> firm could<br />
be <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> great help for collecting actual data and informati<strong>on</strong> and determining the<br />
effectiveness <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 4D <str<strong>on</strong>g>modeling</str<strong>on</strong>g>. Not <strong>on</strong>ly such experience will reinforce the statement<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> findings and discussi<strong>on</strong>, it will develop a broader and holistic percepti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 4D<br />
<strong>planning</strong> in c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> projects as well.<br />
