BIM | Productivity and Off-site Fabrication (Minimising Waste)

Productivity and off-site fabrication

This microcredential addresses the importance of using modern BIM/Lean/IPD manufacturing and construction principles to minimise waste from all aspects of project productivity. The course involves a critical review of standard approaches to onsite progress and productivity compared with the potential advantages of using BIM principles and processes integrated with Lean/IPD based practices, in the integration with off-site fabrication where appropriate and viable. The underlying focus of the subject ties all concepts back to information management, delivering minimum waste to the contractor and client.  

The course is taught in a highly interactive environment. The lectures cover a range of topics relating to the opportunities and methods employed by contractors to leverage BIM during construction. This subject introduces students to applying BIM/Lean/IPD principles to utilising BIM technology in determining work to be ‘manufactured’ on-site and work to be ‘manufactured’ in pre-fabrication factories to ensure project processes minimise waste in all aspects of design and project delivery.

The Continuous Process Improvement (Quality and Safety Standards) is one of twelve specialised BIM microcredentials available.
