Training on Building Information Modelling for Professionals

BIM Academy is a global centre of excellence for BIM and digitisation of the built environment, cofounded in 2010 by Northumbria University and Ryder Architecture with the intention of establishing a centre of excellence for digital construction and transformation. BIM provides product data in standardized digital formats which are used to build an asset in a virtual environment so that all parties can see the asset and assess its workings before it is built. At BIM Academy, we enable this process to happen, we are digital construction pioneers, paving the way for a unified global digital built environment.

Building information modelling and management system (BIM) has been in existence for many years now and used in construction project management, facility management, maintenance of buildings as well in asset management system. However, the full utility of this tool is not explored in the country and industries are looking for qualified professionals who can manage projects with the help of BIM.

BIM also involves in the development of data rich digital 3D models of buildings and infrastructure throughout the lifecycle, from briefing to operation and ultimately to disposal or reuse. BIM adoption has grown rapidly around the world over the last 10 years and represents a major change in the way we deliver and manage buildings and assets. It has been mandated by many governments and large client bodies and is actively used on projects across all sectors. Properly implemented, it can vastly improve visual communication of the design intent and user understanding. It can help deliver major improvements in programme efficiency, design quality, health and safety, environmental performance, operational efficiency, and cost management. It can be equally effective on new build, refurbishment projects or heritage buildings, regardless of scale. It is important to note that BIM is a broad term which covers many different but linked uses of digital technology and collaborative working practice and not a single proprietary solution. These BIM uses include 3D design and coordination, construction simulation (4D), digital cost management (5D) and BIM enabled asset and facilities management (6D).

BIM Training Program is designed for Industry Professionals and Project Managers.
