NIBT 201-ARCH - BIM For Architects (Autodesk Certified Revit and Navisworks)

Course backgrounds:

In past few years, increased adoption of construction technology has significantly impacted project management and project delivery by increasing productivity, shortening schedules, increasing return on investment and providing higher quality. New design and construction project management processes have integrated with technologies like IOT, BIM, 4D scheduling, 5D (budgeting, cash flow management, etc) and 6D facilities and asset management. This is especially evident in developed countries, where governments have made modernized tools as a mandatory requirement for designing, contracting and project management.

In today’s market, any construction professional might find it difficult to get jobs without having these skills. We wanted to showcase and hopefully teach these concepts to India students, to not only give them opportunity in international market, but also improve their career prospects in local market. Missions such as Smart Cities and already engaging modernized construction process and technologies, but struggle to find people equipped with such skills. 

Who is this course designed for? 

This program was designed for architectural students perceiving better careers and professional architects/firms wanting to upgrade their skill sets in the field Architectural design and Engineering. This course will improve project coordination, energy analysis and simulation to improve life cycle of project. Applicants are not required to have knowledge of BIM as pre-requisite to this course.
