CONST 440 Virtual Construction Integration (5 credits)


Prerequisite Admission into the BAS Construction Management Program.

Course Description
Students will generate cost-loaded schedules, and how to combine traditional project schedules with 3D, 4D and 5D Building Information Modeling (BIM), to quickly and accurately capture real-time progress and the value of work-in-place.

Course Content
A. Construction Estimation
B. Construction Scheduling
C. Advance model manipulation

Student Outcomes
1. Divide project into tasks by construction trade utilizing BIM tools.
2. Create quantity takeoffs and combine with location and productivity data to generate project schedules within BIM tools and platforms.
3. Create 4D simulations of planned construction sequences in order to plan, analyze and control takeoffs, purchasing, and logistics schedules.
4. Analyze a project using BIM technology to identify inaccuracies in the data and models in order to improve scheduling.
5. Convert the model into building elements using BIM tools and platforms.
6. Track changes and model revisions using BIM tools and platforms.
