Recommendations

  • A thought, feeling, a purpose and a passion: Goal Achievement! Success is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all love what you are doing. Special thanks to Strategic Building Innovation for their support and enriching training.

    Najib Adouane | Office BIM Manager

  • It is a very well-structured course. You can do it at your own pace online. Take quizzes as if you are playing games. I like the colloquium, the face-to-face part very much. You can ask questions which will then be addressed by Calvin and his team. My dream is to promote BIM literacy in Hong Kong.

    Ada Fung

  • After completing the Foundation-Basic (OpenBIM) course provided by SBI for buildingSMART, I would recommend it to my industry peers. The course was self-paced, online and in a format that met my needs. The information was relevant and equipped me with a broader understanding of BIM and its importance to the Civil Infrastructure industry. Course is relevant to infrastructure environment. Information is fresh, self paced. People new to digital delivery and IFC will find this helpful. Time investment could be a week or two to several hours. SBI supports the process and it's tailored for all abilities.

    Patrick Lane | Montana Department of Transportation

  • Foundation course...great course particularly for layman or professionals outside the industry.... a first step, a step-by-step course 101 102 organized in chapters to walk you through the basics jargons in the BIM industry... learn from peers, sharing advices.

    Paulina Wong | Geography Professor

  • I highly encourage my industry peers to take this course. Understanding the benefits of creating a collaborative “digital twin,” whilst planning for project challenges and risks, will strengthen our design, construction, and operation of future buildings.

    Brigitte Perera | Exponent

  • For the course, my biggest takeaway is learning is truly a life-long journey. We always talk about openBIM®, open standard-a lingua franca. But what are these tools and schema exactly? I was amazed that buildingSMART international actually did a lot of work in terms of technical aspects.... It is actually very difficult. the buildingSMART community has done the job to allow us to communicate with
