The new Building Information Modelling (BIM) Specialist course is aimed at professionals and graduates
Aston University is offering a new course to help upskill the design and construction sectors.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) Specialist is aimed at both professionals and recent graduates with experience of building design, construction and consultancy.
The Level 7 BIM course will allow students to obtain 15 academic credits which can contribute towards a relevant postgraduate qualification.
Students will be taught sector-relevant software skills, covering the current BIM ISO 19650 standards, processes and technologies.
Kenneth Park FCIOB, who is leading the course, said: “As there is an increased effort to reduce waste in the construction industry, BIM is becoming an increasingly important tool for professionals in the sector.
“It allows for collaboration, addressing supply chain inefficiencies, clashes and reworking, creating a more sustainable and efficient construction process throughout the project lifecycle.”
The course includes a mixture of on-campus and online learning and starts in September.

BIM is effective if all stakeholder on a project buy into it. It’s effectiveness can only have fully effect if the driver to any one project is anything rather than profit. Many company have a mind seton how much profit is to be made when tendering for projects. Even in the case where BIM used to eliminate waste, the perception and mind set will be an inclusion of 10% increase in cost due to know unknow. For example, material damage due to weather, damage through transit, storage on site and reworks. Over role BIM effectiveness is in safety and life cycle of a building (Maintenance] but not cost saving. Not until percentage increase in cost for waste allowance is eradicated then BIM remains a by-product of CAD.
