Description
The BIM for Contractors course is divided into two sections: the BIM-savvy contractor and the Construction Model. This is to focus on both the interpersonal and technical skills needed—the hard and soft skills respectively. Sometimes you will find soft skills discussed when reviewing technology or hard skills discussed with reviewing interpersonal collaboration. This is what makes BIM so challenging—it’s hard to separate the two concepts. A strong, BIM-savvy organization requires an understanding of both.
By the end of this course, you will be able to describe a contractor's role in the BIM process, define the term “Federated Model,” describe the involvement of the Subcontractor in Design Assist, identify how Integrated Project Delivery and Building Information Modeling work to enhance the contractors bottom line, and list strategies for hosting a successful Lean BIM Coordination meeting.

eTraining Course Navigation Strategies:
Beginners: Complete the course in order from beginning to end. Once any topic is completed, you will have full access to it at any time for one year after registration, to use as a resource.
Intermediate/Advanced Users: Use the course as a flexible resource tool to find what you need, whenever you need it. Try the assessment tests first, if you get 70%+ you can move to the next level, if you get less than 70% you should complete the lecture. This gives you a pre and post assessment score, which can be used to track your skills improvement.
