Professional Certificate of Competency in Building Information Modelling (BIM)
Engineering Institute of Technology
Type of institution: Registered Training Organisation
Level: Pre-degree
CRICOS: 03567C
Although the BIM methodology can improve the decision-making process of building projects, many professionals are still limited to using BIM-based tools to generate virtual models for geometric representation and rendering. Several BIM application possibilities are still not widespread in the market. BIM is advantageous in centralising all data in the same three-dimensional model, allowing different analyses and simulations to be carried out. This will enable professionals, for example, to accurately assess the costs associated with the construction during the design phase of the project, which ensures the minimisation of economic impacts. Besides, it can guarantee the development of more sustainable buildings, with optimised thermal, acoustic and lighting performances, and with conscious consumption of energy and water. Several other possibilities exist, such as the BIM application for facility management and the use of the BIM concept to benefit the maintenance and repair of heritage buildings. BIM-based software enables professionals to reduce costs, detect design errors, and track building timelines. Furthermore, other advantages continue to emerge as the BIM methodology can be integrated with multiple concepts and be used throughout the entire building lifecycle.
