| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To develop a professional understanding of Building Information Modelling Management (BIMM), and its implications for the built environment across the design and construction stages of a project. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Critically appraise the utilisation of BIM during the architectural (multi discipline) design phase, from concept to detail design, including smart data workflow. |
| 2 | Review and construct a vehicle to manage activity during the construction phase, including proactive response to technical and contractual issues. |
| 3 | Review and validate relevant BIM legislation and how it applies to the design and construction stages of a project. |
| 4 | Evaluate the challenges inherent in providing building information models in a form which is interoperable, across disciplines. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| BIM at the conceptual design stage; cross discipline design; shared BIM models; BIM during the construction stages; CDE; technical issues; virtual prototyping; BIM protocol; interoperability; building data storage and accessibility; smart data workflow; digital construction and transformation. |
| Module Delivery |
|---|
| The module is available for delivery through both face to face and blended learning modes via the Virtual Campus. Access to staff support will be available, either face to face or through online forums. The delivery of this module will be supported through case studies, group activities and discussion forums. |
