Building Information Modelling (BIM) has changed the way construction projects are designed, coordinated, and delivered, replacing fragmented drawings with a single, data-rich digital model that the whole project team can work from. This training course gives participants a practical, management-level understanding of BIM, equipping them to plan, coordinate, and lead digital construction projects with confidence.

Participants will explore how BIM fits within broader digital engineering workflows, gain hands-on familiarity with tools such as Revit, and learn how to run effective clash detection processes that catch design conflicts before they reach site. The course also covers the fundamentals of 3D modelling and the practical realities of BIM coordination across disciplines, giving participants the skills to manage BIM as a project delivery tool rather than just a design exercise.

This program is delivered by The British Academy for Training and Development through its BIM for Managing Digital Construction Projects Training Course, designed to build practical BIM management capability for modern construction delivery.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles and benefits of Building Information Modelling in construction
• Apply digital engineering workflows across the project lifecycle
• Navigate core BIM authoring tools including Revit
• Interpret and work with 3D modelling outputs in a project context
• Plan and manage clash detection processes across disciplines
• Coordinate BIM information between design, engineering, and construction teams
• Manage BIM standards, protocols, and data exchange requirements
• Support project delivery decisions using BIM-based information
