Learn how to use building information modelling (BIM) to plan and manage projects in this free online BIM course. Building information management (BIM) is used to showcase prototypes and digital designs of buildings, locations and their functional characteristics. To provide a comprehensive view of a building's life cycle, BIM employs advanced technologies such as 3D modelling, data analytics and collaboration tools. It is through this process that potential design flaws can be visualised before they consume engineering and construction resources.
