One Model, One Truth: A BIM Coordination and Digital Information Training Course
1Summary
Ask five people on a project for "the current model" and you'll often get five different answers — a version mismatch that quietly derails schedules and budgets. BIM Coordination replaces that confusion with a single, managed source of truth that every discipline works from and trusts.
The BIM Project Coordination and Digital Information Management training course, delivered by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy, takes participants from setting up coordination roles and a working execution plan through hands-on model coordination, Common Data Environment management, ISO 19650 compliance, and the digital twin outcomes that coordinated data makes possible.
