CM-419 BIM for Construction Managers Studio

3 Credits

  • CM-419-01

The focus of this class is to get fundamental knowledge of the concept of BIM and how to manage the model and extract the data that is useful for Construction Management. It will simulate the path of design and construction of a significant building type, such as a 30-story office tower. A range of cutting edge software will be used to model and then harvest the embedded data from the building information model, which are then used to inform the design and construction. Through BIM we create buildings that are well-designed, accurately-built, economical, and sustainable throughout their complete life cycle.
