Description of module content:

This module articulates the advantages and appropriate use of different software packages in a collaborative BIM project as well as the challenges of using open shareable asset information.The module employs a mix of lectures, guest talks from practitioners and former students, engagement with published literature and practical activities in a variety of contexts including:• BIM & Data File Management;• professionalism and the multidisciplinary aspects of the construction industry• modelling a commercial building in a BIM environment;• producing architectural and technical drawings of a commercial buildings;• presentation of a professional set of drawings of a commercial building.Our goal is to develop students as independent learners. Throughout this module, students have to develop their search for information and problem solving skills.There will also be weekly practical tutorials to support students in their coursework and provide formative feedback before final submission.
