Course Overview
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is transforming how construction and engineering projects are planned, designed, and delivered. This mentor-led foundation course introduces the core concepts of BIM, providing a clear understanding of how digital collaboration improves efficiency, accuracy, and project outcomes.
Learners will explore key elements such as levels of development, common data environments, IFC standards, and the UK BIM Framework aligned with BS EN ISO 19650. Through practical scenarios, participants will gain insight into how BIM supports coordinated workflows across multidisciplinary teams.
The programme focuses on real-world application, helping learners understand roles, responsibilities, and data management practices within BIM-enabled projects. By the end, participants will be equipped to contribute effectively to BIM environments and support digital construction initiatives.
