Students must complete the following forty credit points (40CP) of subjects.
This subject covers the use of geo-demographic data to inform BIM in application to urban design and planning, and architectural master planning. This is important to establish accurate working bases for particular buildings design and delivery using BIM/Lean/IPD following the project phases of the buildingSMART Australasia BIM Framework. The subject provides another opportunity for observing and using BIM software platforms in extended applications. It is dedicated to aspects of utilising BIM software in GIS application and introduces students to GIS applications via a specific practical exercise with a focus on the use of data in the broader application of urban design and architectural master planning.
Read moreThis subject addresses cost planning, estimating, lifecycle costing and cost management using BIM-related Lean Construction and Integrated Project Delivery techniques. It is dedicated to aspects of interrogating BIM IT platforms in a manner that informs students how to utilise available BIM information better, to prepare accurate project cost plans and estimates during the project phases defined by the buildingSMART Australasia BIM framework. The subject allows students the opportunity to prepare and refine project estimates/cost plans that align with the BIM framework phases, and with a focus on Lean approaches to construction.
Read moreThis subject addresses the importance of using BIM/ Lean/IPD techniques, working in a collaborative project delivery environment, to not only ensure long term operational phase high-quality energy performance of a facility, but also to consider energy performance aspects of design and construction. Embedded energy impacts of various design decisions are also considered. It is dedicated to aspects of utilising BIM IT platforms to make energy-smart decisions during all project phases defined by the buildingSMART Australasia BIM framework. The subject allows students the opportunity to engage in a practical exercise, using the BIM framework phases. This exercise focuses on Lean construction and IPD principles, to minimise energy wastage during construction and operational phases of a building project.
Read moreThis subject addresses schedule preparation and management using BIM-related Lean Construction and Integrated Project Delivery techniques. It is dedicated to aspects of interrogating BIM IT platforms in a manner that informs students how to utilise available BIM information better, to prepare useful project schedules that align with and include all aspects of the project phases as defined by the buildingSMART Australasia BIM framework. The subject allows students the opportunity to prepare and refine a project schedule that aligns with the BIM framework phases, and respects Lean approaches to construction.
Read moreThis subject provides an exploration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) principles, advanced management practices, and the integration of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) within BIM and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) environments. Covering key aspects such as model federation, BIM execution plans, ISO 19650 standards, and BIM for asset and facilities management, students will develop the skills necessary to manage BIM processes throughout the project lifecycle, from design to construction and operations. The subject also emphasizes emerging technologies like augmented reality, virtual reality, and digital twins, while offering a thorough understanding of intellectual property rights in BIM contexts, focusing on data security, ownership, and legal protection strategies for BIM and IPD projects. Through practical exercises, case studies, and collaborative seminars, students will apply their learning to real-world scenarios, ensuring they are prepared to lead BIM initiatives in complex construction projects. At the completion of this subject, students will have a solid foundation in BIM concepts, an understanding of how BIM influences project delivery, and an appreciation of its role in improving efficiency, reducing waste, and fostering collaboration in the construction industry.
