BIM Methodology. Construction Phase. Existing Buildings

Smart Construction. BIM 40 hours

Introduction

The BIM Methodology Course: Construction Phase – Existing Buildings offers a unique opportunity to gain an insight into one of today’s most dynamic and transformative sectors: the digital construction. Driven by the growing demand for efficiency, sustainability and technological coordination, the BIM approach has become a global standard within the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) sector. Throughout the course, you will acquire key skills in the management and coordination of BIM projects, from the stage of tendering and implementation until the maintenance and management of existing buildings. You will explore advanced concepts such as the 4D BIM for planning and measuring activities, the 5D for cost management and the Sustainability-focused 6D, using cutting-edge tools such as Dynamo y Navisworks. Thanks to its online format, you can train with flexibility and a practical approach, developing the skills needed to lead collaborative and multidisciplinary projects, positioning you as a highly sought-after professional in the global labour market.

Objectives

  • Understand the philosophy and fundamental principles of the BIM methodology in the AEC environment.

  • Analyse BIM standards, protocols and strategies to ensure a effective collaboration.

  • Implement the BIM approach in the various construction phases and works.

  • Apply tools 4D for the planning, measurement and monitoring of activities.

  • Manage the project costs using the 5D approach.

  • Automating processes with Dynamo BIM to optimise workflows.

  • Integrate criteria for sustainability and energy efficiency using tools 6D.
