Planning integration

Connect Microsoft Project schedules with BIM and site reality

Import your Microsoft Project schedule into Bimefy and connect construction activities with BIM, site captures and actual progress. Use the combined information for 4D visualisation, planned-vs-actual analysis and project monitoring.

Planning, BIM and site reality in one view

From schedule to construction intelligence

Many construction teams already manage planning in Microsoft Project. Bimefy lets that schedule become part of the wider project context without asking teams to replace their planning tool.

Export a Microsoft Project schedule as XML and import it into Bimefy. The import reads planning structure including named tasks, dates, durations, predecessor links, milestones, hierarchy and progress information, so activities can be used inside the project rather than viewed only as a separate file.

Once imported, activities can be linked to BIM components and viewed alongside construction progress, 360° captures, camera imagery and other site-reality sources. Microsoft Project provides the timeline; BIM provides the spatial context; Bimefy connects the two.

The workflow is deliberately file based, not a continuous live synchronisation. Bimefy can also export planning data as Microsoft Project XML, so teams can continue schedule management in Microsoft Project while using Bimefy for 4D, reality and planned-vs-actual context.

What the integration enables

What bringing a Microsoft Project schedule into Bimefy supports.

Import Microsoft Project XML

Export a schedule from Microsoft Project in XML format and import the supported planning data into a Bimefy board.

Preserve planning structure

Imported tasks retain their outline and hierarchy information so the schedule remains understandable inside Bimefy.

Use schedule fields in context

Task names, dates, durations, dependencies, milestones and progress information are used to build the planning view.

Turn the schedule into 4D BIM

Connect activities with BIM elements to visualise the construction sequence over time in the model.

Compare planned with actual

Review imported planning information alongside supported site reality and progress evidence during project monitoring.

Export Microsoft Project XML

Export supported planning data as Microsoft Project XML for continued planning work outside Bimefy.

Turn your schedule into 4D BIM

A timeline is more useful when teams can see what each activity represents spatially and review it with current site conditions.

Choose the planning workflow that fits your project

Microsoft Project and Oracle Primavera can both provide schedule context in Bimefy; they serve different planning workflows.

Microsoft Project

Best for file-based planning workflows: import Microsoft Project XML, connect activities with BIM, use planning in Bimefy and export supported planning data again.

Oracle Primavera

For projects using Primavera as their scheduling environment, Bimefy supports Primavera connections and XER or MS Project file imports without presenting either route as a live replacement for the planning tool.

How Microsoft Project works with Bimefy

A clear file-exchange workflow, from schedule import to planning data export.

  1. 1Export from Microsoft Project

    Export the construction schedule as Microsoft Project XML in the format supported by Bimefy.

  2. 2Import into Bimefy

    Bring the schedule structure and supported task data into the correct Bimefy project board.

  3. 3Connect to BIM

    Link activities with BIM elements to create a time-based view of the construction sequence.

  4. 4Review site reality

    Use the schedule alongside supported progress, camera and reality-capture information for project review.

  5. 5Export planning data

    Export supported planning information as Microsoft Project XML when the schedule needs to continue in Microsoft Project.

What teams do with it

Construction planning workflows that become clearer when the schedule is connected to the project context.

4D BIM

Connect Microsoft Project activities with BIM elements to visualise the construction sequence over time.

Planned vs actual progress

View planned activities alongside captured construction progress and current site reality.

Construction sequencing

Use the BIM model and schedule together to understand what should be built, where and when.

Progress meetings

Use current site conditions alongside the imported schedule during project reviews.

Planning visualisation

Make complex construction schedules easier to understand by connecting activities with the physical model.

Schedule exchange

Import supported schedule information from Microsoft Project and export supported planning data back to the existing workflow.

Why Microsoft Project and Bimefy work well together

Microsoft Project manages the construction timeline: tasks, dates, dependencies, milestones and planning. For teams that already use it, that remains the place to manage the schedule.

Bimefy adds the context around that timeline: BIM, 4D visualisation, reality capture, site progress and planned-versus-actual review. Together, teams can see not only when work is planned, but where it happens and how it relates to actual construction progress.

Bimefy does not replace Microsoft Project. The XML import-and-export workflow keeps planning data exchange explicit and lets each system do the job it is designed for.

Who is this for?

Roles that use schedule information alongside the physical project.

  • Construction planners maintaining the schedule in Microsoft Project and sharing it in wider project context.
  • Project managers reviewing planned work with progress evidence and site reality.
  • BIM managers connecting planned activities with the model and construction sequence.
  • BIM coordinators helping teams understand where planned work belongs in the model.
  • Construction managers monitoring sequence, progress and potential deviations across the site.
  • Site managers using current site conditions in planning and progress conversations.
  • VDC teams building 4D and model-based construction workflows.
  • Project controls teams comparing schedule information with progress evidence.

Frequently asked questions

Does Bimefy support Microsoft Project?

Yes. Bimefy supports importing Microsoft Project XML schedule data into construction projects and using that planning information alongside BIM and site reality.

Can I import a Microsoft Project schedule into Bimefy?

Yes. Export the schedule as Microsoft Project XML and import it into Bimefy. Supported task data includes planning structure, dates, duration, dependencies, milestones and progress information.

Can Bimefy export schedules to Microsoft Project?

Yes. Bimefy can export supported planning information as Microsoft Project XML for continued work in Microsoft Project.

Can Microsoft Project be used for 4D BIM?

Microsoft Project provides the schedule information. Bimefy can connect schedule activities with BIM elements to support 4D construction visualisation.

Does Bimefy replace Microsoft Project?

No. Microsoft Project can remain the planning tool. Bimefy adds BIM, reality capture and construction-progress context around the schedule.

Is Microsoft Project synchronised live with Bimefy?

No. The Microsoft Project workflow is based on Microsoft Project XML import and export rather than a continuous live connection.

Can I compare a Microsoft Project schedule with actual site progress?

Yes. Once schedule information is available in Bimefy, it can be used alongside supported site reality and progress information for planned-versus-actual workflows.
