This course introduces the understanding on BIM concept, its history, BIM uses and the processes involved in implementing BIM in projects. It also covers on the application of BIM related software in the implementation of BIM process in project. This course will be assessed by coursework and individual presentations
BIM is used for creating and managing data during the design, construction, and operations process. BIM integrates multi-disciplinary data to create detailed digital representations that are managed in an open cloud platform for real-time collaboration. Using BIM gives you greater visibility, better decision-making, more sustainable options, and cost-savings on AEC projects.
