About the Course
Organizations across architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) need professionals who can do more than navigate a 3D model. They need team members who can define information requirements using ISO 19650 protocols, author and coordinate models in Autodesk Revit, run interference checks in Navisworks, manage Common Data Environments (CDEs), validate data against Employer Information Requirements (EIR), and produce compliant asset deliverables. This course develops exactly those capabilities across a structured 10-day learning arc that moves from foundational BIM concepts through to intermediate-level federated model coordination and digital handover.
What you will learn: this course teaches you how to set up and manage BIM projects using ISO 19650 information management standards, author discipline-specific Revit models with correct Level of Information Need (LOIN), coordinate multi-discipline federated models, execute automated clash detection, and produce COBie data drops for asset management. You will practice hands-on in Autodesk Revit, Navisworks Manage, and BIM 360/Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), building working models and resolving real coordination issues. You will be introduced to 4D scheduling concepts using Navisworks Timeliner and 5D cost estimation linkages at overview level. By the final day, you will have produced a multi-discipline federated model, a clash detection resolution log, a BIM Execution Plan (BEP), and a digital handover package.
This training is designed for professionals who work under real project pressure: tight deadlines, changing client briefs, inconsistent model quality from subconsultants, and CDE platforms that teams barely use. If your organization mandates BIM but your team still passes around uncoordinated Revit files on email, or if your clash detection meetings produce 10,000 unfiltered results that nobody acts on, this course gives you the practical workflows to turn mandate into method.
Target Audience
This course serves professionals across the AECO lifecycle who need to create, coordinate, manage, or use BIM data in their daily project work.
This course is designed for:
- BIM Coordinators managing federated models and clash detection across disciplines
- Architects transitioning from 2D CAD to Revit-based BIM authoring workflows
- Structural Engineers producing analytical models linked to BIM geometry
- MEP Engineers coordinating mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in shared models
- Project Managers responsible for enforcing BIM Execution Plans on construction projects
- Construction Site Managers using models for sequencing, logistics, and field coordination
- Quantity Surveyors extracting material quantities and cost data from BIM models
- Facility Managers receiving digital asset data through COBie handover packages
- BIM Information Managers overseeing CDE workflows and ISO 19650 compliance
- Design Team Leaders setting Level of Information Need standards for multi-discipline projects
Course Objectives
This course equips you to plan, coordinate, and deliver BIM projects that reduce design conflicts, ensure ISO 19650 compliance, and produce trusted digital asset data for operations.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to:
- Assess project BIM maturity using the BIM Maturity Model and ISO 19650 readiness criteria
- Build discipline-specific Revit models applying correct Level of Information Need parameters
- Create a BIM Execution Plan defining roles, responsibilities, and information exchanges
- Execute automated clash detection in Navisworks Manage and prioritize resolution actions
- Design a Common Data Environment workflow with status gates and approval protocols
- Evaluate federated model quality against Employer Information Requirements using validation tools
- Map 4D construction sequences by linking Navisworks Timeliner to project schedules
- Synthesize COBie-compliant asset data packages for facility management digital handover
Requirements & Prerequisites
No prior BIM software experience is required, though basic familiarity with construction project workflows and CAD concepts will help you progress faster through the authoring modules. You should bring a laptop that meets Autodesk Revit system requirements (minimum 16GB RAM, dedicated GPU recommended). Trial licenses for Revit and Navisworks Manage will be arranged before the course starts. A working knowledge of construction terminology, building systems (structural, architectural, MEP), and project delivery stages is assumed.
