INSTRUCTOR:
Swarnali Ghosh Dastider, MS Civil Engg, MArch, LEED AP, CM-BIM
Purpose and Background
The purpose of this webinar is to introduce attendees to the concept of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its applications in the construction industry. The webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of BIM, including its benefits, key components, and the process of implementing BIM in projects. It will also explore real-world examples and case studies to illustrate the practical applications of BIM.
Benefits and Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Define BIM and understand its core components and functionalities.
- Identify the key benefits of implementing BIM in the construction industry.
- Explain the different dimensions of BIM (3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, 7D) and their applications.
- Understand global BIM standards and the significance of RIBA Plan of Work in BIM implementation.
- Recognize the latest trends and advancements in the BIM industry and their potential impact.
These learning outcomes align with the webinar's objective of providing a comprehensive overview of BIM.
