Building Information Modeling For Construction

teaching the basics of BIM-modelling, then going from 3D up to 7D with hands-on exercises.

What you'll learn

Identify and describe effective modeling and visualization techniques for presenting your designs.

Create 3D models of Architectural structures using Building Information Modeling elements that are virtual representations of the real world.

Create building models that more accurately reflect the construction techniques that will be used for the materials and systems specified.

Create 4D simulations to support construction planning and assess the impact of proposed design features on the construction schedule and workflow.

Create building models to support conceptual cost estimating and quantity takeoffs.

Utilize BIM for effective facility management, enabling informed decision-making in planning, operations, and maintenance throughout a building's life cycle.

Requirements

No specific prerequisite is required.

Description

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent model-based process that provides insight into creating and managing building projects faster, more economically, and less environmentally. Learn basic techniques for creating building information models, including building elements, building envelopes, curtain systems, interiors and circulation, and creating families.Autodesk® Revit® building design software is specifically built for Building Information Modeling (BIM), including features for architectural design, MEP and structural engineering, and construction. This course presents many of the fundamental concepts of creating BIM models by applying the tools in Revit. The features presented are a small subset of the full range available in the Autodesk® Revit® platform, specifically focusing on creating new models and displaying them in ways suitable for various applications.CAD is no longer just about drafting. Autodesk® BIM solutions allow you to explore and evaluate a project’s constructability before it’s built, improve cost reliability, visualize construction processes through 4D simulation and clash detection, increase coordination between stakeholders throughout the design and construction process, and better predict, manage, and communicate project outcomes. In this course, we also begin with creating building models that more accurately reflect construction execution. From there, we will look at 4D simulations leveraging those BIM components. Then, we will look at creating model-based cost estimates and takeoffs. Finally, we explore the management of facilities through BIM.This online course includes over 9 hours of content in more than 30 instructional videos along with 26 step-by-step modeling exercises.Table of Contents:Introduction to Building Information ModelingModeling Building ElementsBuilding EnvelopeCurtain SystemsInteriors and CirculationViews and VisualizationMaterials, Lighting, and RenderingConstruction Modeling4D Simulation and Construction PlanningCost Estimating and Quantity TakeoffFacilities ManagementCourse Learning Outcomes:Identify and describe effective modeling and visualization techniques for presenting your designs.Create 3D models of Architectural structures using Building Information Modeling elements that are virtual representations of the real world.Create building models that more accurately reflect the construction techniques that will be used for the materials and systems specified.Create 4D simulations to support construction planning and assess the impact of proposed design features on the construction schedule and workflow.Create building models to support conceptual cost estimating and quantity takeoffs.Use BIM to track, update, and maintain facilities management information to support better planning, operations, and maintenance decision-making throughout a building’s life cycle.Supplemental Texts: BIM Handbook: A Guide to Building Information Modeling for Owners, Designers, Engineers, Contractors, and Facility Managers (3rd Edition, 2018); Authors: Rafael Sacks, Chuck Eastman, Ghang Lee, Paul Teicholz; Publisher:  John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
