Graduate Certificate in Building Information Modelling and Integrated Project Delivery

Course Details

Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) represent the future of the construction industry. Developed in response to the challenge of lost productivity, budget blow-outs, time over-runs and waste that plagued major construction projects, IPD is a way of managing projects so that every member of the building team work collaboratively throughout the construction process. The sharing of information between these team members is made easier by the growing use of BIM a process of creating and managing information on a construction project whereby every aspect of the build asset has a digital description that becomes part of the model. The program components align with the BIM framework of buildingSMART Australasia, the open standards of buildingSMART international, the principles espoused by the Lean Construction Institutes of Australia, the UK and the USA, and internationally recognised principles of IPD. The program has been designed in close collaboration with industry to prepare graduates for leadership roles in consultancies, client organisations and contracting organisations. The graduate certificate is the first step of an articulated postgraduate pathway. Microcredentials are also available for each of the eight introductory modules, which are presented as professional short courses. Go on to complete an additional four coursework subjects to earn a graduate diploma and a final 40 credit point capstone project for the full masters qualification.
