Unit 1: BIM 101- An Introduction to Building Information Modeling - $350.00 / 8 hour class
BIM 101 is designed specifically for construction professionals eager to learn the essential concepts of BIM. Those who will also benefit include building developers, owners, managers, supervisors, architects, engineers,and construction product manufacturers. Students in the architecture, engineering and construction industry will also greatly benefit from this training. The full-day course will give participants a comprehensive overview of BIM, supported by case studies to help participants comprehend each session’s learning objectives. BIM 101 will introduce important concepts that will be necessary for future BIM courses.
Unit 2: BIM Technology
$350.00 / 8 hour class
BIM is leading the way to a fundamental paradigm shift for the entire AEC industry. The ultimate goals are still the same-successful projects completed on time, on budget and with no claims. To consistently achieve these goals, it is necessary to work in a collaborative environment. The tools and processes of BIM offer just such a collaborative approach. BIM Technology presents a solid process for selecting BIM tools. The course explores the major applications and classes of tools across project phases including QTO, shop drawing and fabrication, construction scheduling, estimating, scheduling, and coordinating. The goal of the BIM Technology course is to help participants become BIM champions within their organizations. The BIM Technology course is designed as a highly participatory, team-oriented event that balances group discussion and team assignments in an instructor-led format.
Unit 3: Contract Negotiations & Risk Allocation• Explain key BIM terms, roles, and related risk allocation concepts
• Discuss indemnity and standards of care related to model contributions and use
• Evaluate BIM Execution Plan elements and negotiate contract terms related to them
• Identify intellectual property rights and legal issues related to model usage
• Recognize limitations of existing insurance and bond products as compared to evolving BIM liability coverage
