CONST 275 Model Integration: Estimation and Scheduling (5 credits)



Prerequisite CONST 274  with a minimum GPA of 2.0 or instructor/coordinator permission.

Course Description
Students will learn to use BIM tools and platforms to manage, schedule and control construction projects.

Student Outcomes
• Explain the meaning of 4D and 5D BIM to stakeholders.
• Use BIM tools and platforms to divide project into tasks by construction trade.
• Use divided trade data to create quantity takeoffs and combine with location and productivity data to generate project schedules within BIM tools and platforms.
• Use BIM tools and platforms to modify data and create 4D simulations of planned construction sequences to plan, analyze and control schedules.
• Create schedules of materials for takeoffs, purchasing and logistics.
• Identify inaccuracies in the data and models to improve scheduling.
• Use the model to track the status of building elements and identify problems potential problems with scheduling.
• Convert the model into building elements using BIM tools and platforms.
• Using BIM tools and platforms add parameters and conditional formulas to compute cost.
• Using BIM tools and platforms extract quantities from 2D views and the 3D project model.
• Apply cost data from available catalogs to takeoff items using BIM tools and platforms.
• Using BIM tools and platforms create or import an item and resource catalog.
• Using BIM tools and platforms track changes and model revisions.
