Course overview
The course aims to develop students’ ability to apply Building Information Modelling (BIM) principles and digital construction methodologies across the project lifecycle. Students will gain practical skills in creating, integrating, and analysing 3D models, simulating construction sequences (4D), and performing cost planning (5D) using industry-standard tools. Emphasis is placed on collaborative workflows, compliance with BIM standards, and critical evaluation of digital processes to support informed decision-making in sustainable building and infrastructure projects.
