Course description

NEW CONTENT makes this a must-take course and credential for project manager and their teams. This course covers essential knowledge and skills for every project manager, supply chain or client representative, using openBIM® to design, deliver, and operate projects. This prepares project teams to develop Organization Information Requirements (OIR), specify requirements in Requests for Proposals (RFP), mitigate risks, manage and execute projects, leverage new technologies, and processes, gaining value from the new objectives they support.

A self-paced online version of this course will be available soon. We also offer the course live in a virtual classroom, delivered over three 3-hour sessions for groups of six or more participants.

Successful candidates will receive a recognition from buildingSMART US or Hong Kong Chapter, depending on the chapter they enroll with.

Course Outline

  1. 01
    How New Approaches Change Project Management

    Match objectives to Organization and Project Goals, and develop Organization Information Requirements (OIR) based on enterprise objectives. Develop clear, concise, comprehensive exchange requirements. Identify meaningful metrics, differentiate controllable and uncontrollable factors. Develop practical Model Development Specification (MDS) and verify compliance; employ LOD properly; develop model checking procedures and rules to expedite model validation, and specify and create reliable object libraries for use in design, construction, and automation.

  2. 02
    openBIM®, open Standards and Technologies

    Explain the utility and application of key open standards, including Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), Information Delivery Manual (IDM), and Information Delivery Specification (IDS), to support consistent and efficient information exchange. Specify and maintain shared data repositories that enable collaborative workflows. Apply BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) for structured issue tracking and coordination. Accurately apply geolocation to models and effectively use data dictionaries to ensure consistency and interoperability across all stakeholders.

  3. 03
    Digital Deliverables Management & Teamwork

    Create contracts that leverage model uses and Model as Legal Document provisions. Include requirements and standards expectations directly in Requests for Proposal. Foster collaborative mindsets, lead teams to evaluate options and arrive at consensus resolutions. Take action before, during, and after meetings to optimize outcomes. Develop a Digitalization Roadmap to strategically plan, implement, and sustain digital transformation across projects and organizational processes.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify Project Requirements in the context of Enterprise Information Requirements

  • Develop a shortlist of most meaningful performance metrics to guide project execution (leading metrics) and impact (outcome metrics)

  • Describe and apply information delivery specifications, workflows, and checks using openBIM®

  • Create a BIM Execution Plan

  • Incorporate Digital Requirements into RFP and Project Contracts

  • Prepare internal teams to accept, validate, and induct models

  • Select experience-based good practices for adoption / adaption

Recommendations

  • A very good program, more that what I expected — SBI brought industry problems and experience.

    Head of Strategic Projects

  • Definitely a useful course for projects and management in general. I appreciate the real-world projects and solutions presented in this course. I am ready to take the next hands-on applications course with SBI.
