Building Information Modelling (BIM) for Project Managers

The DIXONTECH Building Information Modelling (BIM) for Project Managers course equips project professionals with the essential knowledge and practical tools to plan, manage, and deliver projects using BIM methodologies. Aligned with PMI, ISO 19650, and RICS standards, the programme enables managers to integrate digital design, collaboration, and structured information management across all project phases to improve accuracy, efficiency, cost control, and decision-making.

TRAINING TOPICS

• BIM fundamentals and digital construction concepts

• BIM levels dimensions and ISO 19650 standards

• BIM project lifecycle and information management

• Roles responsibilities and collaboration protocols

• Integrating BIM with project management practices

• BIM Execution Plans and implementation frameworks

• Cost schedule and risk integration using BIM

• BIM technologies tools and case applications

BY THE END OF THIS TRAINING COURSE, DELEGATES WILL BE ABLE TO:

• Apply BIM methodologies to project delivery

• Understand BIM principles and digital workflows

• Develop and manage BIM Execution Plans

• Coordinate multidisciplinary BIM data and models

• Integrate BIM with cost time and risk management
