GENERAL INTRODUCTION

WEEKLY PROGRESSION

DAILY PROGRESSION

Client are frequently requesting Level 2 BIM, and the UK is mandating

Level 2 BIM for all public projects from 2016. Ireland and the rest of Europe
could soon follow suit. To win the work, practices must up-skill their
workforce.

To achieve Level-2, one must conform to tjhe British Standard BS

1192:2007 - Collaborative Production of Architectural, Engineering and
Construction Information).
Level-2 BIM requires all Design Team, and Contractor Team members
(including Sub-Contratcors), to collaborate through BIM. We will teach
Revit to beginners within this context. Ideally a student would have a CAD
background, although this is not imperative.
We will spend 5 weeks teaching the essential skills in a tutorial situation. A
further 3 weeks will be spent applying and developig these skills on a new
project.
