Building Information Modeling (BIM) – Design & Coordination Training

Introduction

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a revolutionary process that integrates planning, designing, and managing building infrastructure using digital models. This course equips civil, mechanical, electrical, and architectural professionals with the knowledge and tools to work collaboratively on BIM platforms like Revit, Navisworks, and AutoCAD. It covers design modeling, clash detection, coordination, and documentation techniques required for efficient project delivery in line with global AEC industry standards.

Modules and Content

Module 1: Fundamentals of BIM and Digital Construction
  • What is BIM? Concepts, evolution, and benefits
  • BIM vs traditional CAD workflows
  • BIM levels (Level 0–3) and LOD (Level of Development)
  • Introduction to Revit (Architecture, MEP, Structure)
  • Navisworks for clash detection and coordination
  • AutoCAD, BIM 360, and other industry tools
  • Project templates, views, and levels
  • Creating walls, floors, roofs, doors, and windows
  • Custom families and parametric modeling
  • HVAC, plumbing, and electrical modeling in Revit MEP
  • System routing, tagging, and load analysis
  • Coordination of MEP systems with structural and architectural models
  • Creating and editing structural elements
  • Reinforcement detailing and documentation
  • BIM for structural analysis integration
  • Navisworks for clash tests and resolution
  • 3D coordination between disciplines
  • Exporting and managing clash reports
  • Generating plans, sections, elevations, and schedules
  • Quantity takeoff and cost estimation
  • Sheet creation and title block management
  • Understanding BEP, BIM protocols, and project workflow
  • Naming conventions, file management, and version control
  • ISO 19650 and other international BIM standards
  • Linking models with project timeline (4D)
  • Cost planning and budgeting with BIM (5D)
  • Project visualization and stakeholder communication
  • Real-time modeling and BIM coordination of a sample building
  • BIM in infrastructure: airports, hospitals, and smart cities
  • Portfolio development and presentation

Scope & Advantages

As the construction industry shifts toward smart and collaborative workflows, BIM has become a global standard for design and execution. Mastering BIM opens doors in architecture firms, MEP consultants, general contractors, infrastructure companies, and government projects. The course enhances interdisciplinary coordination, reduces rework, improves accuracy, and makes professionals future-ready for digital construction practices.

it opens doors for entrepreneurial ventures in rooftop solar installation and maintenance.
