Course Overview
In late 2017 the results of the third national survey in benchmarking Building Information Modelling (BIM) showed that 85% of organisations surveyed (40 in total ranging across the industry) welcomed a government BIM mandate akin to the UK's, requiring BIM utilisation on public procurement projects.
Regardless of the results of any mandate, BIM is here, and is steadily growing in use. It will continue to grow in uptake at rapid pace alongside the digital revolution that is happening in the industry. It is because of this, that people need to be prepared, not only in the technological aspects of BIM, but the practical aspects of how BIM and digital technology will affect all aspects of the construction/engineering profession.
We as an industry need to prepare, not only in the technological advances, but how these advanced changes how we tender for work, how we engage with the supply chain and what it will mean for our construction contracts moving forward.
Course Aim
This course is designed for all those involved in construction/engineering projects that are using BIM, or those who are considering procuring works with a BIM requirement and those intending on bidding for this work.
This course is not designed to look at the technology or standards behind BIM, but instead the legal aspects and the practical impact that the use of BIM will have on your business.
