BIM (Building Information Modeling) is rapidly becoming an indispensable and often mandated process in order to ensure the utmost efficiency and collaboration in the planning, design, and construction of buildings. BIM refers to Building Information Modeling, which entails a highly collaborative approach allowing multiple stakeholders and AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) professionals to work together on the planning, design, and construction of a building within a unified 3D model. This process can extend to the operation and management of buildings, utilizing accessible data for informed decision-making even after the building is constructed.

The adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has established it as the industry-standard approach to designing, analyzing, and managing the entire lifecycle of a building. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of a holistic approach encompassing design, construction, maintenance, operation, and sustainability. Industry and research experts employ cutting-edge BIM software to deliver the training, supplemented by regular talks from BIM specialists and close collaboration with industry partners.
