Description

This module is intended to develop the learners design, communication, collaboration and management skills within a BIM CDE environment.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Create and present basic Revit Models and details and schedules

2.

Manage and share content of Revit models compentently

3.

Assess and use Building Information Modelling within the construction industry

4.

Interrogate BIM models using collaboration software.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

This module will be delivered using blended learning techniques which will comprise mainly of  front-loaded online resources such as recorded tutorials, augmented by independent learning and directed learning. This approach is expected to address student-learning needs. A learning platform such as Moodle will be used to upload educational material (i.e. tutorial  recordings plus supplementary reading material) and as a means of assessment (e.g. uploading
assignments and projects). This blended approach (lectures and pre-recorded tutorials) allows students work at their own pace.

Module Assessment Strategies

  1. Mid term summative and formative assessment.
  2. Major summative project of a Revit model.
  3. Summative final exam  -  Both project and final exam are compulsory pass.

Repeat Assessments

Repeat submission of outstanding CA & project and final exam for Autumn exam boards.

Indicative Syllabus

  1. Model creation for framed buildings - walls, curtain walls, columns, beams and floors, roofs, components and family creation, groups, stairs, shafts, extrusions, railings
  2. Sections, call-outs, detailing and drafting views for framed buildings.
  3. Portal framed buildings.
  4. Schedules - wall, windows, finishes etc, applying costings to schedules.
  5. Introduction to BIM 360 services & Navisworks for combining models; viewing, sectioning, interrogating and clash detection.
  6. Introduction to 4D and 5D.

Required & Recommended Book List

Required Reading
2011-04-19 BIM Handbook John Wiley & Sons
ISBN 9780470541371 ISBN-13 0470541377

"The BIM Handbook presents the technology and processes behind BIM and how architects, engineers, contractors and sub-contractors, construction and facility owners (AECO) can take advantage of the new technology and work process. Unlike CAD, BIM is a major paradigm shift in the documentation, work processes and exchange of project information. It facilitates collaboration and further automation, in both design and construction. AEC professionals need a handbook to guide them through the various BIM technologies and related processes. The collaborative nature of BIM requires professionals to view BIM from various industry perspectives and understand how BIM supports multiple project participants. The BIM Handbook reviews BIM processes and tools from multiple perspectives: the owner, architects and engineers, contractors, subcontractors and fabricators"--

ISBN 0470402350 ISBN-13 9780470402351

Offering practical advice and tested techniques, this book serves as the first and only building information modeling (BIM) integration guide for the construction industry. Youll explore crucial construction tasks such as estimating, staging, sustainability testing, multiple model trade coordination, and digital detail resolution. In addition, the book also looks at facility management models and offers a clear picture of how the featured tools, techniques, and workflows can benefit each discipline.
