Proponents of building information modeling (BIM) enthusiastically tout as one of its advantages its ability to work in conjunction with other software programs to predict the performance of buildings. Theoretically this would help in the scheduling process of buildings. This paper summarized the method of directly using BIM as a tool to make project's schedule based on information a BIM model provides. It introduces how to use a BIM model to manage schedule tasks, use quantities and location information from it, and manage productivity data for scheduling. By using BIM model based scheduling process, the BIM model can be a platform to document and manage the actual procedure data, which can be valuable for future projects.
