This introductory subject addresses the fundamental principles of BIM, Lean Construction, and Integrated Project Delivery. It is taught in a highly interactive environment. It provides thorough coverage dedicated to OpenBIM, including explanation of BIM and OpenBIM definitions, comparison of BIM with traditional design and delivery approaches, overview of current international standards development activity, according to the ISO19650 series, as well as various aspects of BIM and their relationships with the broader ecosystem. A brief introduction to the BIM framework adopted by buildingSMART Australasia is also presented during this subject.
Read moreThis subject addresses the management of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issues arising from the use of BIM, Lean Construction and Integrated Project Delivery when working in a collaborative project delivery environment. It is taught in a highly interactive environment and covers impacts of IPR on BIM, which equips students to better adapt the buildingSMART Australasia BIM framework. This subject introduces students to the key impacts of IPR in applying principles of Lean Construction and of Integrated Project Delivery in the construction and infrastructure projects design and delivery environments. The relevance of IPR in adopting and applying the buildingSMART Australasia BIM Framework is also discussed.
Read moreThis subject introduces the concepts of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). It also covers various software platforms suitable for openBIM application, and appropriate for Lean Construction and Integrated Project Delivery. It is taught from a practical applications perspective in a highly interactive environment. This subject is dedicated to covering BIM-related software platforms and their integration in accordance with openBIM principles. It investigates the impacts of AR and VR on Lean Construction and Integrated Project Delivery, and to review their relevance in the context of the buildingSMART Australasia BIM Framework.
Read moreThis subject addresses schedule preparation and management using BIM-related Lean Construction and Integrated Project Delivery techniques. It is taught in a highly interactive environment. 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 addresses cost planning, estimating, lifecycle costing and cost management using BIM-related Lean Construction and Integrated Project Delivery techniques. It is taught in a highly interactive manner. 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 taught in a highly interactive environment. 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 the importance of using BIM/ Lean/IPD techniques, working in a collaborative project delivery environment, to optimise the operation of a building or infrastructure facility, from maintenance, economics and other essential perspectives, following completion of its commissioning. It is taught in a highly interactive environment. It is dedicated to aspects of utilising BIM technology platforms to make intelligent decisions regarding design impacts on operations, 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, focuses on Lean construction and IPD principles, to assess potential operational phase impacts of design decisions.
Read moreThis 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. The subject is taught in a highly interactive environment. 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.
