CPD overview

The definition of BIM (Building Information Modelling) is now fairly well established, but as it takes a stronger hold, many questions still exist.

This talk aims to cover questions such as:

What is BIM and what is design led BIM?

How does a design practice begin in degrees to use BIM?

How does the integration process work? Determining the right level of BIM for the project?

Learning Aims:

• Provide a high level overview of the BIM workflow;
• Demonstrate real world case studies; Provide practical advice on implementing BIM;
• Carry out a practical exercise on office BIM strategy Learning. Objectives: To understand the basic definition of BIM;
• To understand and be able to define in simple form the BIM maturity diagram;
• To be able to place the current working methods of the architects practice within the context of the BIM Maturity Diagram;
• To understand the difference between Lite BIM and Open (Full) BIM;
• To be able to state the main advantage of the .IFC openBIM file format;
• To be able to identify a suitable project within the practice to progress along the BIM Maturity Curve using the guidelines set out by BuildingSMART;
• To identify which of the 7 steps to BIM the learner would consider on her/his next BIM project.
