Introduction:

This course will introduce and develop the core principles of Building Information Modelling (BIM) as used in the planning, design, construction and operation phases of a project using the AutoDesk Revit platform.

It’s useful for anyone in the construction sector who’s looking to develop their overall knowledge and skills in BIM for construction projects.

BIM is used for creating and managing project data through the design, construction, operation and de-commissioning process.

It integrates data from multiple sources to create detailed digital representations that are managed in a cloud platform.

This facilitates real-time collaboration between the various project partners which leads to improved decision making, better option management and potential cost savings.

This course will help you navigate the core components of the AutoCAD Revit platform.

You’ll set up, develop and manage small-scale project files within a BIM environment.

It will therefore enable you to increase your level of project engagement and productivity.

What you’ll study

On the course, you will:

  • be introduced to Revit and how to set it up
  • look at importing 2D CAD files into the application
  • develop substructures and levels, superstructures and sections/elevations
  • learn about clash detection
  • set up drawing sheets, views and dimensions
  • practise using annotations, tagging and schedules
  • finalise drawings
  • create plot files and print drawings to scale.

Further information on what you'll study

By the end of the course, you will:

  • have a working knowledge and understanding of the AutoCAD Revit software package
  • appreciate the basic concepts of BIM
  • produced accurate 3D construction drawings using AutoCAD Revit to create a simple Building Information Model
  • be able to communicate clearly in graphical format
  • be able to demonstrate a range of transferable skills that be will valuable in the workplace.
