Course Description
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is fast becoming the global industry standard for designing, procuring, constructing and managing buildings and infrastructure projects. The digitisation of building components and performance data, coupled with the use of collaborative tools and internationally agreed standards, have been associated with reduced costs and improved outcomes on projects worldwide.
This 10-credit special purpose award is designed to act as a foundation for BIM adoption by those employed in the built environment related professions. Participants will be given the skills needed to create and engage with building information models and digital building data. The collaborative nature of the course will support the engagement of those operating in the fields of building design (architecture, civil and structural engineering, mechanical and electrical services, quantity surveying), building construction, related product manufacturing and facilities management.
The course will focus on the use of Autodesk Revit to generate model data and will take advantage of associated software packages and platforms to co-ordinate multiple disciplines in a common data environment (CDE). Practical activities are supplemented by live and recorded lectures, allowing participants to grow their understanding of BIM practice.
The content of the course is offered entirely online, further supporting the participant’s development in the use of collaborative tools. On completion, the successful candidate will be capable of generating BIM content and of participating in critical BIM processes using internationally agreed structures and procedures.
