Building Information Modeling (BIM) Bootcamp

Certificate Program

BIM allows you to optimize productivity and enhance your firm's ability to manage the building design and construction lifecycle, streamline work processes, and deliver projects on time and on budget. Our BIM program helps you design and build faster, smarter, and more efficient solutions in the architectural design, engineering, and construction industries.

The Building Information Modeling Bootcamp provides students with the knowledge to develop a customized process, implementation plan, schedule, and task list addressing the specific needs of their firm regardless of size, type, and industry — from one-man operation to national firm, Design, Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, or Contractor. Students must be familiar with current 2D design, production, and documentation processes and methodologies (AutoCAD or similar recommended) before registering.

Program Objectives

  • Explore the challenges and benefits of adopting a 3D (BIM) approach to production and documentation.
  • Define a decision making process to determine if and when firms should move to BIM.
  • Provide the tools necessary to create a realistic BIM implementation plan that responds to specific staff, financial, and schedule constraints.
  • Develop a process map, task list, and schedule for BIM implementation.

Who Should Attend

  • Strategic planners and decision-makers responsible for firm direction.
  • Technical and information system installation, maintenance, and support staff.
  • Applicable to the Architecture, Design, Engineering, Construction Management, and Construction industries.
  • Not intended for CAD staff: this is not a software training program.
