Applying BIM to Modern Project Delivery Training Course
1Summary
A clash discovered on the construction site costs far more to fix than the same clash caught on a shared digital model weeks earlier — in rework, delay, and disputed responsibility. That gap between design intent and site reality is exactly what Building Information Modelling (BIM) is built to close. This Applying BIM to Modern Project Delivery training course, delivered by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy, teaches participants how structured information, 3D modelling, and coordinated digital workflows reduce conflicts and support better decisions across the construction project lifecycle.
Part of Project Management Training Courses under the Management category, the course covers BIM execution plans, model coordination, project collaboration, and the link between BIM and digital engineering, giving participants practical ability to contribute to and benefit from BIM-based project delivery.
2Objectives and target group
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Explain how uncoordinated project information leads to rework, delay, and disputes.
- Understand the principles, dimensions, and maturity levels of BIM.
- Contribute to a BIM execution plan and understand its structure and purpose.
- Coordinate multidisciplinary models using common data environments.
- Understand model federation, clash detection, and design coordination.
- Link BIM models with project schedules, cost data, and quantity information.
- Apply digital engineering concepts to support progress monitoring and performance analysis.
- Identify BIM-supported risk, quality, and change management practices.
- Understand BIM implementation strategy, standards, and information governance.
- Apply BIM across planning, design, construction, and handover phases.
