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.
Course Content
• Construction Estimation
• Construction Scheduling
• Advance model manipulation
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.
Degree Outcomes
Program outcome
1. Use the Building Information Model to perform quantity takeoffs and create cost estimates.
2. Use the Building Information Model to develop construction analysis and create and manage construction schedules.
3. Use the Building Information Model to integrate management functions.
Critical, Creative, and Reflective Thinking: Graduates will evaluate, analyze, synthesize, and generate ideas; construct informed, meaningful, and justifiable conclusions; and process feelings, beliefs, biases, strengths, and weaknesses as they relate to their thinking, decisions, and creations.
