Building Information Modelling (BIM)

Occupational Profile

The aim of this course is to give students the background knowledge and understanding of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the context of the construction industry.

As well as practical process of information management through a project lifecycle to include 2D and 3D digital applications to generate project data for designing and producing information that will facilitate construction.

The knowledge and skills gained on this course will allow students to understand the importance of BIM in the context of current roles and responsibilities in the construction industry. Students will also gain an understanding of how this may influence future choices in their professional careers.
