When bidding on large-scale modular projects, and specifically the scope of on-site assembly, the likelihood of success is governed by: (i) the capacity to respond rapidly to changes requested by owners; and (ii) the ability to clearly represent all the details of crane operations, including: (a) crane selection; (b) location of pick points; (c) crane path planning; and (d) a digital lift animation emphasizing proper rigging configuration, crane swing direction, and potential lift obstructions. A bidding proposal that addresses these operational details signals to the owner that the proponent's engineering team not only has thoroughly investigated and understood every aspect of the project, but is also able to integrate these elements within an animation platform to help the stakeholders (including the owner) refine their understanding of alternative assembly scenarios and thus conduct a well-informed tendering process. In this context, the key deliverable of the proposed research will be a decision-support system that can generate level-4 crane schedules for a complete project (4D), based on 3D simulation of each lift in the project, which can, in turn, form the basis of cost estimation (5D) for the purpose of bidding, comparison, and execution. The generating of various scenarios based on this 4D and 5D information will culminate in an optimization approach in the form of value engineering selection criteria (6D), based upon which the partner organization can select the best available solution that satisfies the project requirements (i.e., a scope triangle). The potential benefits of this research include increased competitiveness of Canadian crane service enterprises; reductions in the carbon footprint of construction due to increased efficiency of crane operations; improved equipment selection (preventing overdesign and thereby reducing CO2 emissions with respect to ground preparation and transportation of equipment such as crane components, rigging, and crane mats); and improved safety (through streamlined operations and improved communication between lift planners and rigging crew/operator).

当竞标大规模模块化项目，特别是现场大会的范围时，成功的可能性由以下方式管理：（i）对所有者要求的变化迅速响应的能力； （ii）能够明确表示起重机操作的所有细节，包括：（a）起重机选择； （b）选拔点的位置； （c）起重机路径规划； （d）数字升降动画强调适当的索具配置，起重机摆动方向和潜在的升力障碍物。一项招标建议，涉及这些操作详细信息向所有者发出信号，表明支持者的工程团队不仅对项目的各个方面进行了彻底调查和理解，而且还能够将这些元素整合到动画平台中，以帮助利益相关者（包括所有者）对他们对替代装配风景的理解，从而使他们对替代组装场​​景进行理解，从而进行良好的进程。在这种情况下，拟议研究的关键可交付将是一个决策支持系统，它可以基于项目中每个升降机的3D模拟为完整项目（4D）生成4级起重机计划，从而又可以构成成本估算（5D）的基础（5D），以实现出价，比较，比较和执行的目的。基于此4D和5D信息的各种方案的产生将以优化方法的形式以价值工程选择标准（6D）的形式达到最终形式，因此，合作伙伴组织可以选择满足项目要求的最佳可用解决方案（即Scope Triangle）。这项研究的潜在好处包括加拿大起重机服务企业的竞争力提高；由于起重机操作效率提高而导致的碳足迹降低；改进的设备选择（防止过度设计，从而减少二氧化碳排放，以进行地面准备和运输设备（例如起重机组件，索具和起重机垫子））；并改善了安全性（通过简化的操作以及提高升降机计划者和操纵人员/操作员之间的沟通）。
