3 hours

Study of the concept and applications of the building information model (BIM) and electronic data interchange (EDI) between building software applications for architectural design, structural analysis, estimating, construction scheduling, project management and facility management. Topics expand beyond traditional 3D modeling to include state-of-the-art 5D modeling that incorporates the dimensions of cost and time into the BIM for a total building life cycle view.
