ICE BIM for Infrastructure – BIM in Practice

This course is designed for professionals who have completed the  ICE BIM for Infrastructure – Foundation and are ready to advance their skills. It equips participants with the knowledge necessary to effectively apply Building Information Modelling (BIM) and ISO 19650 standards in real-world projects.

Participants will learn how to plan and deliver structured information, drive collaboration across teams and supply chains, and develop leadership and digital maturity. The course also focuses on aligning project delivery with the UK BIM Framework, ensuring participants are well-versed in the latest industry standards and best practices.

Key Topics Covered:

• Applying BIM and ISO 19650 Standards: Gain practical insights into implementing BIM and ISO 19650 standards in various project scenarios.
• Planning and Delivering Structured Information: Learn techniques for organizing and managing information throughout the project lifecycle.
• Driving Collaboration: Explore strategies to enhance teamwork and communication across different teams and supply chains.
• Developing Leadership and Digital Maturity: Understand the importance of leadership in driving digital transformation and improving digital maturity within organizations.
• Aligning Delivery with the UK BIM Framework: Ensure that project delivery aligns with the UK BIM Framework, promoting consistency and compliance with industry standards.

ICE Certificate for BIM

Attending this course contributes toward the ICE Certificate for BIM. To be eligible for the certificate, delegates must first complete ‘ICE BIM for Infrastructure – Foundation’, then ‘BIM in Practice’, and subsequently complete ‘BIM Implementation – Putting People First’. Together, these courses provide the training and guidance required to implement the ISO 19650 series and the UK BIM Framework within your organisation.
 

UK BIM Framework (ISO 19650 series) mapping

This training course is mapped to the UK BIM Framework Learning Outcomes. If you are outside the UK, we cover all the standards within the ISO 19650 series, as these standards are the core of the UK BIM Framework.

This is a full-day session that starts at 9:00 and concludes at 17:00.
All timings, except the start time, are approximate and may be adjusted.
