Building Information Modelling (BIM) is more than just working in a digital environment.  It’s about ensuring teams have the relevant knowledge and capabilities to achieve best practice and the continued drive to commit to it.

“BIM for Professionals” course includes collaborative working, and requires “an information exchange process which is specific to that project and coordinated between various systems and project participants”.

Grasp the key management principles, themes and terminology of BIM and how to apply these within your organization, as well as the drivers for success and return on investment (ROI). You’ll gain the relevant understanding and foundation to effectively
utilize BIM on your next project.

This course will also help you easily implement BIM by understanding the strategic and technical processes required to apply BIM on all levels while providing the knowledge and skills you need to successfully manage each step of your building project by
encouraging the use of a consistent management framework.

It offers a deeper understanding of the delivery of “BIM for Professionals” course and beyond- and how you can ensure different information types are gathered, managed and used more efficiently across multiple projects. The topics will include detailed
explanations of processes and procedures, in line with the “BIM for Professionals” course suite of documents and the roles and responsibilities that align to these objectives allowing you to deliver business value at every step of the process.
