General Information

Overview

The adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM), which is developing into Building Lifecycle Management (BLM) within the built environment, is an advanced and developing technology that offers significant productivity and technical and environmental benefits. Governments worldwide have mandated the use of BIM in their projects, and various Australian governments and commercial developers are adopting this practice. In this unit, you will develop fundamental BIM knowledge and competencies that are rapidly becoming a core requirement for design and construction professionals. You will learn about recent developments in a construction-related discipline and/or area of professional practice. You will develop your understanding of research principles and methods applicable to your field of work and learn skills (BIM visualisation, creation and maintenance) essential for the successful adoption and maintenance of BIM in the construction industry, especially in the context of construction management. The client's post-construction use of BIM will be critically studied.
