DURATION : 6 Months
Module 1: Introduction to the BIM Dimensions
This module establishes the foundational “language” of BIM. It covers the transition from traditional CAD to a data-rich environment.
* 2D to 3D: Moving from flat drawings to parametric modeling.
* 4D (Scheduling): Integrating time and project sequences.
* 5D (Estimating): Linking quantities and costs to the model.
* 6D (Sustainability & Facility Management): Managing the building’s lifecycle and energy usage after construction.
Module 2: Software Training (Revit Ecosystem)
The “hands-on” phase where you learn to build the digital twin using industry-standard tools.
* Revit Architecture: Creating walls, floors, roofs, and aesthetic elements.
* Revit Structure: Modeling foundations, beams, columns, and reinforcement.
* Revit MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing): Designing HVAC systems, piping, and electrical circuits.
* Clash Detection: Using tools like Navisworks to find spatial conflicts between disciplines.
Module 3: Project Work
Theory meets practice. You will execute a mini-project to simulate a real-world workflow.
* Template Creation: Setting up project coordinates and levels.
* Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Linking Architectural, Structural, and MEP models.
* Documentation: Generating floor plans, sections, and schedules directly from the 3D model.
Module 4: Level of Development (LOD)
LOD defines the “reliability” of the model at different stages of the project.
* LOD 100 – 500: Understanding the progression from a conceptual mass (LOD 100) to an as-built model (LOD 500).
* Model Accuracy: Determining how much detail is required for specific project milestones to avoid over-modeling.
Module 5: Standards & Regulations (ASHRAE & ISO)
BIM requires strict rules so that different companies can work together seamlessly.
* ISO 19650: The international standard for managing information over the whole life cycle of a built asset using BIM.
* ASHRAE Standards: Applying energy efficiency and ventilation standards (like 90.1 or 62.1) within the BIM workflow for MEP.
Module 6: BIM using Cloud (CDE)
Modern BIM happens in real-time across the globe using a Common Data Environment (CDE).
* Autodesk Construction Cloud (BIM 360): Hosting models in the cloud for live collaboration.
* Issue Tracking: Assigning “clashes” or design changes to team members digitally.
