SDCM72-001: BIM: Management, Innovation, and Intellectual Property Rights for IPD

This 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.
