Course Overview
Building Information Modelling skill set
This skill set introduces you to the fundamental aspects of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Digital Engineering (DE). BIM provides a powerful combination of true collaborative processes and the use of intelligent 3D software to an asset to ensure that it is built and managed efficiently. DE involves the asset's graphical and non-graphical elements and attributes being stored and managed together in a central digital location. Sub topics throughout the unit may include a BIM Execution Plan, project collaborative approaches, clash detection, construction timelining, project viewpoints, client animations and project take-offs using relevant BIM and DE standards and 3D software.
