Course Details

Course Details

This course will provide you with an understanding of why “Collaborative BIM” has been adopted by industry worldwide 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 Information Management 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 to 6 ) and the 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 ISO 19650” 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.

Course aim

The aim of this course is to raise awareness of, and to explain the basic principles of Building Information Modelling (BIM). The course will enable you to understand the concepts of BIM and how the AECO industry is building its capability and approach to deliver “BIM according to ISO 19650”. It also provides an introduction to the more detailed BSI courses which focus on specific aspects of “ISO 19650 part 1 through to part 6.

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 the range of standards, tools and other documents that define and are used to implement BIM
Understand how “BIM according to ISO 19650” 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 and what technical tools exist to support this, including COBie and IFC
See how “BIM according to ISO 19650” provides a framework for better information security
Understand the roles and responsibilities associated with “BIM according to ISO 19650”.
Understand what next steps you need to take to be able to manage assets or deliver projects.
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.
