Advanced BIM Applications in Construction
Master BIM integration with scheduling and cost-estimating tools for comprehensive construction management and planning.
Master BIM integration with scheduling and cost-estimating tools for comprehensive construction management and planning.
This advanced course focuses on practical applications of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in construction management. Students learn to combine BIM with traditional scheduling and cost-estimating tools to develop sophisticated 4D, 5D, and nD models. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on activities using industry-standard software like Navisworks and Microsoft Project, covering clash detection, model coordination, quantity takeoff, and construction planning. Through practical exercises, students master essential skills for applying BIM technology to real-world construction management tasks.
