Certificate in Building Information
Modelling (BIM) - Project Management

Duration: 6 Months Distance Learning Programme
Language: English
Fee: INR 70,000 + Applicable Service tax

Course Summary
Despite the wider industry wanting to use BIM, not all members of the project-delivery
network are embracing it and one of the key reasons is a shortage of specialist BIM
professionals.
The Certificate in Building Information Modelling Project Management will cover the entire
BIM project lifecycle and provide you with detailed knowledge and the skills required in
order to manage each step of the project.
BIM is a methodology, a process. A project manager has a critical role when advising clients,
internal and external stakeholders about the benefits of BIM how, when and where BIM
can contribute to the project outcomes and then have the skills and knowledge to manage
the project. The BIM manager is required to understand the BIM process, create the project
environment in which BIM can work effectively: they set the outcomes and process and
requirements across the teams. This course will give you the skills and knowledge to
effectively manage a BIM project at each stage. The feature of this course is a simulated BIM
project which will run throughout the course to embed practical knowledge at each stage of
the BIM project process.
Who is this course for?
Professionals with at least 5 years of experience in managing projects within the built
environment including: Quantity Surveyors, Project Managers, Building Surveyors, Asset
Managers, Facilities Manager, Architects and Engineers, Cost Engineers, BIM Manager, BIM
Coordinator and Construction Project Managers
