About the Course

The course provides knowledge of information handling in a BIM project. Candidates are provided skills to apply parameters for improve information handling in a Building Information Model, in addition to tools and processes for basic clash detection and rule checks. The course provides insight into building acts, standards and regulations. The course builds on competence from Architectural Modelling. 

The course provides competence for information management and basic analysis of Building Information Models. The candidate is provided knowledge of building acts and regulations, open standard file formats and project collaboration, as well as skills to perform clash detection, and rule checks to optimize models.
