Professional Certificate of Competency in Building Information Modelling (BIM)

Engineering Institute of Technology

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a concept that revolutionized the way construction projects are conceived by developing intelligent virtual models. When applying BIM, the resulting 3D model is a data-rich digital representation of the facility. It provides professionals with the necessary information to perform practical building analysis. This course aims to discuss several possibilities for adopting the BIM methodology for enhancing the decision-making process in building projects. For this, different tools and methods associated with BIM will be presented and applied to case studies. This course benefits all professionals associated with the construction industry, such as engineers, architects, and project managers.Although the BIM methodology can improve the decision-making process of building projects, many professionals are still limited to using BIM-based tools to generate virtual models for geometric representation and rendering. Several BIM application possibilities are still not widespread in the market. BIM is advantageous in centralizing all data in the same three-dimensional model, allowing different analyses and simulations to be carried out. This will enable professionals, for example, to accurately assess the costs associated with the construction during the design phase of the project, which ensures the minimization of economic impacts. Besides, it can guarantee the development of more sustainable buildings, with optimized thermal, acoustic and lighting performances, and with conscious consumption of energy and water. Several other possibilities exist, such as the BIM application for facility management and the use of the BIM concept to benefit the maintenance and repair of heritage buildings. BIM-based software enables professionals to reduce costs, detect design errors, and track building timelines. Furthermore, other advantages continue to emerge as the BIM methodology can be integrated with multiple concepts and be used throughout the entire building lifecycle.This program benefits all professionals associated with the construction industry, such as engineers, architects, and project managers.Course Benefits:You may be eligible to claim CPD points through your local engineering association.Receive a Certificate of Completion from EIT.Learn from well-known faculty and industry experts from around the globe.Flexibility of attending anytime from anywhere, even when you are working full-time.Interact with industry experts during the webinars and get the latest updates/announcements on the subject.Experience a global learning with students from various backgrounds and experience which is a great networking opportunity.
