BIM: Virtual Project - London

About this course

This course is a bespoke Continuing Professional Development course. We will work with you to develop training that will fit your organisation’s needs.  To contact our expert staff to create a bespoke course that is tailor made for you, request a call back. To receive updates about Continuing Professional Development courses, fill out the enquiry form.

Working in a multidisciplinary team with colleagues, you’ll develop a real project using the facilities at our training suite in London. You’ll be able to use our state-of-the-art BIM software, including the latest Autodesk technology for planning, designing, building and managing. At the same time you’ll receive targeted training and coaching from the instructors at the BIM Academy, which was co-founded by Northumbria University, and which is an Autodesk Authorised Training Centre. By the end of the workshop your team will have gained hands-on experience of the benefits of BIM tools for a real project. You’ll also have broadened your understanding of BIM processes such as design coordination, model federation, dataset development and export, construction simulation, estimating and cost management. Think of the three-day course as a low-commitment trial of the potential of BIM.

If you’re part of a project team or SME that wants to experience Building Information Modelling in a real project environment, come to this course and discover the potential of BIM.

 

 

 

Learn from the Best
