Building Information Modeling in Construction

Catalog description

This course will introduce concepts and applications of Building Information Modeling (BIM) both as a product and as a process. BIM is not only a design tool but is also an approach to building project delivery in which a digital representation of the building process is used to facilitate the exchange and interoperability of information. This course will focus on how BIM is used in construction projects for: 3D modeling; 4D modeling that integrates construction schedule; 5D modeling that integrates schedule and cost; and short-term planning.
