What Will I Learn?

• Identify and describe effective modeling and visualization techniques for presenting your designs.
• Create 3D models of Architectural structures using Building Information Modeling elements that are virtual representations of the real world.
• Create building models that more accurately reflect the construction techniques that will be used for the materials and systems specified.
• Create 4D simulations to support construction planning and assess the impact of proposed design features on the construction schedule and workflow.
• Create building models to support conceptual cost estimating and quantity takeoffs.
• Utilize BIM for effective facility management, enabling informed decision-making in planning, operations, and maintenance throughout a building's life cycle.
