BIM-VDC for Construction

Course details

Building information management (BIM) has evolved into virtual design and construction (VDC), which involves the integrated digital management of all phases of a construction project. VDC and BIM are key to effectively communicating and delivering a quality construction project in the modern digital age. This course will help you leverage the latest cutting-edge technology to win proposals, push the design envelope, and leave a lasting impression on your clients. Learn how to create bids, manage preconstruction, author digital content, establish a BIM plan and requirements, organize your digital models, coordinate with large teams, and manage your documentation and data. Instructor Willard Williams, an architect and construction industry professional for over 20 years, shows you how to use the latest digital tools, from laser scanners to unmanned aerial vehicles, to plan, execute, and manage construction projects of any size.
