This subject was previously known as Building Information Management.
This subject is an introduction to digital modelling in construction, enabling students to evaluate and apply Building Information Modelling (BIM) as a tool for improving the management of construction projects. Students will learn the basic concepts of building information modelling, such as parametric modelling and object-oriented design, as well as the basic concepts and process of building information management in accordance with international standards. In addition, students will learn to visualise building information and construction process via 4D (time) and 5D (cost) simulation.
