BIM for Surveyors 1

This Module will introduce students to the BIM and digital cost estimating / control. Students will acquire the skills and competence needed to represent buildings and building details graphically using appropriate software & hardware, with an emphasis on the development of the skills required to create models suitable to use in a 5D BIM workflow. Students will also learn to use estimating software to create accurate take-offs from models.
