Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO)

On completion of the course the student shall:

Knowledge and understanding

display knowledge of the most common BIM uses in building projects
display knowledge of the business value of BIM uses in building projects
show familiarity with information and process requirements in BIM based projects
demonstrate comprehension of data driven evaluation methods for BIM use

Skills and abilities

demonstrate the ability to author a BIM execution plan
demonstrate the ability to author information requirements in a building project
demonstrate the ability to author evaluation criteria for BIM use

Judgement and approach

demonstrate an understanding of how different BIM-uses contribute to fulfilling project goals in a building project

Content

The course focuses on how to specify BIM uses to achieve goals and values in building projects. Students attain knowledge and understanding of how different BIM uses can be identified and expressed in a BIM strategy. In addition, students learn how information needs and processes can be specified in BIM Execution Plans and Information Requirements to ensure their practical implementation in projects and how to define criteria useful for evaluating the BIM based work in building projects.

The course includes the following elements:

BIM uses in Planning, Design, Construction and Operation of a building
BIM strategies
BIM manual
Information Requirement / Information Delivery
