Building Information Modelling Fundamentals (BIM)

This course will provide you with an understanding of why and how Building Information Modelling (BIM) supports Lean principles to reduce waste in construction and asset management.

This course will provide an overview of the standards that define BIM implementation and the fundamental processes of a Common Data Environment (CDE).

It will also help you understand ‘BIM according to ISO 19650’ – the new international standard (Part 1 and 2) and ‘BIM implementation’ from the perspective of clients and customers. The role of information in managing assets and projects more efficiently and the tools defined for this.

In addition, you’ll understand ‘BIM according to BS EN ISO 19650’ and ‘BIM implementation’ from the perspective of designers, constructors and supply chain. Responding to the client’s Exchange Information Requirements (EIR). Tools used in the supply chain to manage and exchange information (CDE, COBie, IFC).

The course will help you to put BIM implementation into the broader context of information security, roles, and responsibilities. You’ll reflect on the impact delivery for your organization and what next steps need to be taken.

How Will I Benefit?

This course will help you:

• Understand the rationale behind BIM Implementation and to put this into the context of your own organization

• Understand how ‘BIM according to ISO 19650’ and ‘BIM Implementation’ helps asset owners manage asset information more effectively and helps project sponsors and project managers deliver better projects (commercially and technically)
• Understand how all types of suppliers (designers, constructors, specialists, asset contractors) respond to client requirements in BIM Implementation, and what technical tools exist to support this, including COBie and IFC
• See how ‘BIM according to ISO 19650’ and ‘BIM Implementation’ provides a framework for better information security
• Understand the roles and responsibilities associated with ‘BIM according to ISO 19650’ and ‘BIM Implementation’
• Understand what next steps you need to take to be able to manage assets or deliver projects following the BIM Implementation
• The final session of the course gives you the chance to reflect on the topics covered and plan your forward actions to help put BIM Implementation into practice.
