theoretical and historical backgrounds as well as the practical exercises of the related various BIM
software tools. The course will explore the benefits of BIM tools and methods as used by all
relevant stakeholders, such as clients, design teams, construction manager, contractors and
maintenance operators etc. This course also work with BIM software tools to create 3D models
that extract quantities for estimation purposes on the basis of input resources as well as that
operate construction schedule(4D simulation) for project planning. Furthermore, the course will
focus on the virtual design & construction management process that integrates 3D BIM model
with scheduling and costing, what is called, 5D simulation.
