Introduction to BIM for Mixed-Use Developments
This online engineering PDH course provides a comprehensive introduction to Building Information Modeling (BIM) implementation for complex mixed-use developments.
This course introduces the core principles of BIM and its evolution from 3D modeling to a multi-dimensional, information-driven process. It establishes a framework for understanding how BIM enhances project delivery by improving design integration, data management, and collaboration across disciplines.
Moreover, this course examines key strategies for successful BIM adoption in mixed-use environments, including the development of BIM Execution Plans (BEPs), clash detection workflows, model coordination methods, and data-rich modeling across architectural, structural, MEP, and specialty systems. This course also explores how to leverage the full seven dimensions of BIM—3D, 4D (time), 5D (cost), 6D (sustainability), and 7D (facility management) to drive project efficiency and performance.
This course further addresses the role of BIM professionals in stakeholder engagement, showing how to align BIM deliverables with project goals and regulatory requirements, while enabling integrated workflows between architects, engineers, contractors, and owners.
This 10 PDH online course is applicable to BIM specialists, architectural engineers, as well as other technical professionals involved in the design and delivery of mixed-use building projects.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the unique coordination challenges of mixed-use developments and how to address them using advanced BIM techniques such as federated modeling, clash detection, and multi-dimensional analysis
- Explaining the principles and components of effective BIM Execution Plans (BEPs) and how they support design integration, cost control, and scheduling across diverse building types
- Demonstrating how to apply BIM frameworks to improve communication, reduce errors, and support multi-disciplinary collaboration throughout the project lifecycle
- Identifying emerging BIM technologies, tools, and workflows that enhance model accuracy, data sharing, and design coordination in complex developments
- Applying quality assurance processes and strategic platform selection to ensure successful BIM implementation and continuous performance improvement
