Building Information Modelling (BIM) and its associated technologies and processes can integrate the project team and facilitate high-quality work. This subject will present BIM as tool for creating and managing building project information during design, construction and operation phase using three-dimensional, real time, dynamic building modelling software. The subject will focus on 3D BIM representation of a simple building using Autodesk Revit Software or Archicad.  It will introduce students to 5D BIM quantity extraction with CostX software, model coordination/clash detection with Solibri software and construction sequencing and simulation with Synchro.

Intended learning outcomes

On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:

  • Understand the concepts and processes of using digital technology to create 3D models of buildings
  • Create 3D BIM for simple building types
  • Federate models, clash detect, and simulate schedule of models.
  • Automatically extract building quantities from 3D Models using BIM templates from relevant software.
  • Learn how to extract data from BIM
  • Learn basic knowledge of Autodesk Revit, or Archicad, CostX, Solibri, and Synchro software.
  • Describe the benefits, risks, and barriers to the use of BIM applications.

Generic skills

  • Upon successful completion of this subject the student will have had the opportunity to develop the following generic skills: • Effective participation as a team member. • 3D Graphical representation of building information • Correct use of technical terminology relating to BIM. • Digital modelling skill • Identification and familiarity with building components • Understanding of construction documentation used in simple building type.
