Purpose and Background

The purpose of this webinar is to equip participants with the knowledge and strategies to effectively manage and resolve BIM coordination challenges within a construction project.

The session will delve into best practices, tools, and techniques for identifying, communicating, and resolving clashes and conflicts between different building systems and disciplines. Attendees will gain insights into improving collaboration among project teams, enhancing BIM model quality, and ultimately optimizing project delivery.

Benefits and Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Explain the importance of BIM coordination in achieving project success
• Identify common clash types and their potential impact on construction
• Utilize clash detection tools to identify and resolve conflicts
• Implement clash batching and viewpoint creation to streamline the coordination process
• Apply tiered coordination approach to prioritize clash resolution and manage project workflow

These learning outcomes focus on practical skills and knowledge to enhance participants' ability to manage BIM coordination challenges.

Assessment of Learning Outcomes

Achievement of the learning outcomes by attendees will be assessed through short quizzes and a final exam.
