Programme summary
This course explores the use of Revit software and the BIM process in the effective design and delivery of construction projects, concentrating firstly on acquiring the Revit skills to produce a 3D BIM model of a domestic and commercial building; then progressing to a project-based curriculum focussed on the succeeding dimensions of BIM such as 4D clash detection, 5D quantity take-off and 6D energy modelling, developing and advancing the learner’s skills in Revit Architecture and BIM workflow and collaboration.
Entry requirements
A Level 6 (NFQ) or equivalent by recognition of prior learning (RPL) would be the expected norm in terms of entry requirements for mature learners. A knowledge of construction technology, basic building services and a working knowledge of basic 2D CAD is desirable. Familiarity with 2D or 3D drawing packages such as AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Trimble SketchUp, SolidWorks or Hevacomp would be an advantage to learner.
