About the Course

​​The course provides knowledge of model coordination and the use of control tools to track and inform of changes in Building Information Models. 

​Candidates are provided with a quick introduction to the work of other disciplines and the possible responsibilities they could undertake under a guiding professional/project area responsible outside of architecture. In addition, they will learn how to introduce external information provided by other disciplines into their models and ways to inform of these changes to their superiors. 

​The course focuses on collaboration between disciplines and linking models to improve project workflows. The course builds on competence from Building Simulations. No instruction is provided on the specific work of disciplines beyond architecture, but they are introduced to the general competence required for coordinating information. 

​The aim of the course is to provide candidates insight into other disciplines and collaborative use of Building Information Modelling. They get an introduction to other disciplines' importance when planning and developing digital models. and their vital role as elements in the chain of information​ 

Course Learning Outcomes
Learning outcomes - Knowledge

The candidate:  

  • ​​has knowledge of processes and tools used to model, identify, and categorize models from building disciplines outside of architecture.
