The Building Information Modelling (BIM) training course, delivered by The British Academy For Training and Development, develops practical knowledge of BIM and its application to modern project management. The programme explains how digital construction, structured information, 3D modelling, data coordination, and digital engineering support planning, design, execution, monitoring, and management across construction projects.

Designed within Project Management Training Courses under the Management category, the course focuses on using Building Information Modelling (BIM) to improve project collaboration, information management, coordination, and decision-making. Participants learn how to understand and contribute to a BIM execution plan, coordinate multidisciplinary project information, reduce information conflicts, and apply digital workflows throughout the construction project lifecycle.

By the end of the Building Information Modelling (BIM) course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles and applications of BIM.
• Explain the role of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in project management.
• Apply digital construction concepts to modern project environments.
• Understand BIM-based workflows across construction projects.
• Improve multidisciplinary project collaboration through shared information.
• Understand the purpose and structure of a BIM execution plan.
• Support BIM-based project planning and coordination.
• Identify information requirements throughout the project lifecycle.
• Understand model coordination and clash detection processes.
• Apply digital engineering concepts to project management.
• Improve project information management and communication.
• Identify opportunities to reduce errors, rework, and coordination conflicts.
• Support digital decision-making throughout construction project delivery.
