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
    Supporting Standards and Technologies

    Develop clear, concise, comprehensive exchange requirements. Develop model checking procedures and rules to expedite model validation. Specify and maintain shared data repositories. Explain the utility and application of each of IDM - bSDD/IFD - IFC.

  2. 02
    How openBIM® Changes Project Management

    Match objectives to Organization and Project Goals, and develop Organization Information Requirements (OIR) based on enterprise objectives. Develop practical Model Development Specification (MDS) and verify compliance; employ LOD properly. Practical application of BCF. Appropriately employ data dictionary.

  3. 03
    Digital Deliverable Management & Teamwork

    Include requirements and standards expectations directly in Requests for Proposal. Identify meaningful metrics; differentiate controllable and uncontrollable factors. Create contracts that leverage model uses and Model as Legal Document provisions. Foster collaborative mindsets; lead teams to evaluate options and arrive at consensus resolutions. Accurately and effectively apply geolocation for models. Specify and create reliable object libraries for use in design, construction, and automation.

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.
