What is the course about?
Building information modelling (BIM) is a collaborative process for creating, managing, and storing information about a built asset throughout its life cycle. Revit is a widely used BIM software for designing, planning and managing the construction of built assets, such as buildings and infrastructure. It enables professionals to create detailed 3D models that integrate architectural, structural and MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) components, supporting real-time collaboration and accuracy across all project stages. On this short course you will learn key skills for the workplace.
