Navisworks

It allows users to bring together design models, construction simulations, and project data from multiple sources, enabling efficient coordination and collaboration among project stakeholders. Navisworks offers advanced tools for clash detection, scheduling optimisation, whole-project analysis, and creating accurate visualisations, making it an essential software for managing complex construction projects. 

Autodesk Navisworks is a powerful software application used for project review, coordination, and visualisation in the construction industry. 

Why is the Navisworks course important?

Project review and coordination 

The course teaches parti- cipants how to navigate the navisworks user in- terface, customise works- paces, merge files, and navigate models effecti- vely. 

Visualisation and communication

Participants learn how to apply materials, modify au- todesk materials, map tex- tures, use autodesk ligh- ting, and create realistic vi- sualisations. 

Quantification & resource management
 
Participants learn how to create quantification items, resources, and formulas to perform takeo- ffs and analyse model changes. 

If you’re looking to become an expert in Navisworks, our inclusive BIM Navisworks course is designed for you. Navisworks is a powerful software used for project review, coordination, and visualization in the construction industry. 

Our training enables you to efficiently manage and analyze project data, perform clash detection, and create accurate visualizations. With hands-on training and guidance from industry experts, you will gain the expertise required to effectively utilize Navisworks in your BIM workflows, making you a valuable asset in the construction industry.
