Building Information Modelling (BIM) Foundations & Best Practices

Course Summary

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has revolutionised the construction and civil engineering industries, offering a collaborative platform that enhances project efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to BIM, covering fundamental concepts, practical applications, and best practices. Participants will gain the knowledge and skills needed to effectively implement BIM processes, leading to more streamlined project management and improved outcomes.  


Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:  

  • Develop a solid understanding of BIM principles and their role in construction and civil engineering.  
  • Gain practical experience in using BIM tools for project management and collaboration.  
  • Understand the standards and frameworks essential for successful BIM implementation.  
  • Explore advanced BIM applications to improve sustainability and lifecycle management in projects.  

This course is intended for   

  • Architects, engineers, and construction professionals aiming to adopt BIM in their projects.  
  • Project managers and coordinators seek to enhance collaboration and efficiency through BIM.  
  • Facility managers and planners interested in integrating BIM into lifecycle management.  
  • New construction and civil engineering professionals who wish to build a foundational understanding of BIM.  

The course combines interactive lectures, hands-on software training, group discussions, and real-world case studies. Participants will engage in practical exercises to reinforce learning, with opportunities to collaborate on projects that simulate real-world BIM scenarios. The methodology emphasises experiential learning, ensuring participants can immediately apply their new skills in professional contexts.
