A clash caught inside a 3D model costs minutes to fix. The same clash discovered on site costs days, rework, and budget. That single shift — from reactive fixes to proactive coordination — is what Building Information Modelling (BIM) brought to construction, replacing fragmented drawings with one data-rich digital model the whole project team can work from. This training course builds a practical, management-level understanding of BIM so participants can plan, coordinate, and lead digital construction delivery with confidence.

Across the course, participants see where BIM sits inside broader digital engineering workflows, get hands-on with tools such as Revit, and learn to run clash detection processes that catch design conflicts before they ever reach site. The fundamentals of 3D modelling and the practical discipline of BIM coordination across engineering disciplines are treated as core project-delivery skills, not just design tasks.

This program is delivered by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy through its Delivering Projects Through BIM: Digital Construction Management Training Course, built to develop applied BIM management capability for modern construction delivery.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Run effective clash detection processes that catch design conflicts before they reach the construction site
• Coordinate BIM information between design, engineering, and construction teams throughout delivery
• Understand BIM principles and benefits, and where BIM sits inside broader digital engineering workflows
• Navigate core BIM authoring tools, including Revit, and interpret 3D modelling outputs in a project context
• Manage BIM standards, protocols, and data exchange requirements across the project team
• Support project delivery decisions using BIM-based information rather than fragmented drawings
