Autodesk Learning: Deep Dive into BIM

Having a sound grasp on the project lifecycle from the onset of a project helps with planning the entire project, improves communication with all parties involved, and can alleviate or even eliminate challenges and problems that may occur.

Description

A thorough understanding of the BIM project lifecycle is the foundation for a successful BIM project. Having a sound grasp on the project lifecycle from the onset of a project helps with planning the entire project, improves communication with all parties involved, and can alleviate or even eliminate challenges and problems that may occur. Whether the project is a building, or related to other types of large physical assets, such as roadways, parks, and other infrastructure, this information applies.

After completing this content, you will be able to: 

  • Define a typical design-construction project and its stages 
  • Examine the workflow within a BIM project 
  • Develop a prototypical BIM project 
  • Create BIM teams for a design-construction project
