The architecture, engineering, construction and operations industry has well documented inefficiencies stemming primarily from fragmentation in the project delivery process. At the same time, the industry faces significant challenges such as the demand to deliver projects more economically, the desire for more environmentally responsible projects, and the expectation of more predictability in performance — all of which call for more integration and collaboration throughout a project’s lifecycle. New technologies such as building information modeling (BIM) are revolutionizing architecture and construction, providing a platform that allows project information to be captured, structured and analyzed throughout the entire lifecycle of a project, enabling a more integrated, collaborative process that supports more informed decision making and higher levels of efficiency. In this course, students will learn the principles of BIM using Revit software.
