Large BIM projects don’t fail because of bad modeling — they fail because of bad coordination. Information gets lost between architecture, structure, and MEP teams; clashes are discovered on-site instead of on-screen; and schedules and budgets drift because no one connected the model to time and cost. This course teaches you to lead a large-scale BIM project the way top firms actually do it — following international standards (ISO 19650) and real industry workflows, from the very first planning document to final project handover. You’ll follow one consistent sample project throughout the course — a multi-story office and commercial building — and build it up step by step: writing its EIR and BIM Execution Plan, modeling architecture, structure, and MEP in a coordinated way, running a full clash detection cycle in Navisworks, connecting the model to a construction schedule and cost estimate (4D/5D BIM), managing information through a Common Data Environment, and finally, leading the project as a BIM Manager would.
What you’ll cover:- Section 1 — BIM Fundamentals: what BIM really is, maturity levels, ISO 19650, LOD/LOI/LOIN, team roles, CDE, software ecosystem, and legal/contractual basics- Section 2 — Planning: writing an EIR, pre- and post-contract BEP, scope and success criteria, RACI matrices, team structure, MIDP/TIDP, and running a kickoff workshop- Section 3 — Architecture Modeling: high-detail modeling, families and templates, documentation, phasing, site/topography, and scan-to-BIM- Section 4 — Structure & MEP: structural modeling, MEP systems, multi-discipline coordination, fabrication-level modeling, and fire/life-safety systems-
