Building information modeling (BIM) is the state-of-the-art approach to facility design and construction using object-based 3-D models. Learn how to employ BIM technologies for analytical purposes such as visualization, quality takeoff, cost estimating, scheduling, coordination, and facility management. Study current technologies that enable the BIM process, including tools such as Autodesk Revit Architecture. Gain practical knowledge to work with architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing models, and learn to identify potential conflicts quickly and effectively among them. Create basic 3-D models in Autodesk Revit. Examine the technical logistics to set up successful projects using BIM technologies. You also gain exposure to real-world BIM industry applications and practices.
Prerequisites:
- Basic understanding of design and construction concepts, scheduling, and coordination of construction systems.
- Familiarity with a CAD program is recommended but not required.
- You must be comfortable with computers and technology in general.
Learner Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Understand how VDC (Virtual Design Construction) affects the design, preconstruction and construction phases of the industry.
- Identify common issues with implementing VDC on projects and how to mitigate them through implementation of guidelines.
- Perform basic modeling techniques in Autodesk Revit.
- Develop an implementation plan for successfully deploying VDC on projects.
