Performing Conceptual, Preliminary, and Detailed Quantity Take-off and Cost Estimating

What you'll learn
Explore how to define new design option sets and experiment with design alternatives.
Appreciate how to present each design option in separate views.
Explain how to choose a design option as the final solution and discard the other alternatives.
Requirements
Basic BIM Modeling
Description
Introduction to the fundamentals of Building Information Modeling and how they apply to the design and construction industry and a technology-enabled workforce. Introduction to the methods of creation, evaluation, and exchange of Building Information Models. Leveraging BIM and 4D modeling for construction optimization and sustainable building initiatives.

In this lesson, you'll explore the process of identifying areas of a project where multiple design options are being considered and a workflow for exploring, evaluating, and presenting those options within a single integrated design model.
