Course overview

00:02

This course is designed to provide you with a foundational understanding

00:06

of building information modeling and its transformative impact on architecture,

00:11

engineering,

00:12

construction,

00:13

and operation of built assets.

00:15

By exploring BIM principles and workflows,

00:18

you'll gain insights into how it drives efficiency,

00:21

collaboration,

00:21

and innovation across all project stages.

00:24

Throughout this course,

00:25

you'll begin by understanding the core concepts.

00:28

Of BIM and how it integrates geometry,

00:30

data,

00:31

and collaboration to drive better outcomes.

00:34

Learn how BIM shifts workflows from traditional

00:39

allowing you to better visualize designs,

00:42

coordinate across disciplines,

00:44

and improve project decision making.

00:46

You'll be introduced to critical documentation that underpins

00:49

BIM projects such as the BIM execution plan.

00:53

You'll see how these documents guide project deliverables,

00:56

set project standards,

00:58

and ensure alignment with client goals.

00:60

Explore the importance of the common data

01:02

environment as the central hub for managing,

01:05

sharing,

01:06

and securing project information.

01:08

Discover how platforms like Autodesk Construction Cloud

01:11

enable seamless collaboration and version control,

01:14

keeping everyone on the same page.

01:16

You'll also learn how BIM facilitates model validation and coordination,

01:21

helping project teams identify and resolve design conflicts

01:25

before they escalate into costly on-site issues.

01:28

From clash detection to data validation,

01:31

this course will demonstrate the tools and

01:33

techniques that ensure high quality project models.

01:36

The course also addresses project completion,

01:39

emphasizing how BIM supports Handover.

01:41

Through as built models and data-rich

01:44

deliverables designed for effective facilities management

01:48

as a key component of outcome-based BIM,

01:50

sustainability is also explored with insights into how BIM tools

01:55

like Autodesk RevIt and ForA enable environmental performance analysis,

01:60

energy modeling,

02:01

and resource optimization to meet contemporary sustainability goals.

02:06

After completion of this course,

02:08

you'll be able to describe BIM principles and workflows,

02:12

define and use key BIM documentation,

02:15

convert 2D drawings to 3D models,

02:17

use a common data environment,

02:19

work collaboratively with other disciplines to coordinate conceptual models,

02:24

develop bridging documents and models to transfer

02:27

knowledge of the building to future stakeholders,

02:30

and incorporate sustainability and outcomes based in workflows.
