Module Aims
The Aim of this Module is to introduce students to the different Dimensions of BIM and provide an opportunity to use some of the software packages involved within a BIM Project from Design through Construction and through its Occupancy.
To provide opportunity for the use of a Common Data Environment to Collaborate with Group Members and to build an understanding of the type of data that needs to be shared, and when, and how it is stored.
Students will not only build an understanding of BIM data, but have an insight into the need for data, the type of data within Construction, and the privacy and security of that Data. Data ownership, Copyright and Contractual liability will also be explored.
Content Summary
During this module students will be given opportunity to engage with a leading BIM Software package and gain experience of how the data within the model can be managed and distributed throughout the design team.
Furthermore, Students will gain an understanding of the different BIM Standards for Information Management, and how a Common Data Environment (CDE) can be used to aid Collaboration within Construction, and will provide opportunity for Groupwork to be conducted using a CDE.
There will be an opportunity to collaborate on a project in order to identify issues that may affect the Construction Process when on Site, giving an insight into how Team members can work together to find solutions.
There will be a focus on Data Management and how that data is used, secured, and shared to inform within the decision-making process. Copyright issues and Contractual liability and ownership of data will also be introduced.
The sources of data within the UKCI i.e. ONS, RICS, BCIS will also be explored, giving the students an opportunity to view, explore and use existing Construction data to build an understanding of Budget and Timescales.
