Course Overview

The accelerated use of BIM and digital technologies has transformed the way the built environment is delivered and consequently, transformed the managerial competencies that the sector requires. The project manager has a critical role when advising clients and stakeholders about the benefits of BIM – how, when and where BIM can contribute to the project outcomes and then demonstrate the knowledge and competence to manage the construction or infrastructure project smoothly. The BIM manager is required to understand the information requirements across the project lifecycle, develop information management process and ultimately to create a project environment in which BIM can work most effectively in a collaborative environment.

The updated course (originally 'Certificate in Building Information Modelling (BIM)') now provides a comprehensive guide to applying BIM principles, processes and methodologies consistent with the international standards of ISO 19650. From a global perspective, you will see how BIM technology has been implemented in real scenarios and how BIM process has been transitioned in alignment and integration to the suite of ISO19650 standards. The course will cover the entire BIM project lifecycle and provide a global opportunity to enable construction professionals and owners alike to consolidate their approach towards BIM Delivery.

Furthermore, by working through a simulated BIM project you will embed cutting edge industry practice, and hands-on experience throughout the BIM process. Ultimately, you will be able to implement smoother collaboration with your project stakeholders, improve control of project data, benefit from streamlined information management, and reduce the risks of project conflicts, delays or added costs.
