Fundamentals of BIM | Live, ONLINE

BIM made easy! Join us for this introductory course that covers the fundamentals of Building Information Modelling (BIM). Using practical examples from real project case studies, this course will teach you what works when using BIM – and just as importantly, what doesn’t work when BIM is used incorrectly.

Gain insights into the business benefits of BIM and critical factors for successful project implementation. Course content also includes an introduction to the ISO 19650 suite and other working standards and specifications. You’ll learn what ISO 19650 is and why it is important to use this standard along with how to extract the most relevant parts based on roles and projects.

Achieve a higher level of competitive advantage in your business by understanding BIM concepts and how to apply them to your projects.

*Attendees do not require any BIM programs/software to attend.
