Description
This subject examines the practical application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies and processes for the development and delivery of construction projects. The role of the project manager, contractor, design team and BIM Manager in the development and use of building information models is explored. This includes the effective management and control of information contained in discipline-specific 3D models. Students develop an in-depth understanding of BIM uses and BIM implementation. The subject also examines the issues and problems that are inhibiting the widespread application of BIM in the industry. Students are presented with the future development of BIM.
