Effective BIM Coordination is what turns a collection of individual discipline models into a single, reliable source of project truth that design and construction teams can trust and build from. This training course gives construction professionals a practical, information-focused approach to coordinating BIM models and managing the data that flows through a project's digital environment.
Participants will learn how to develop and apply a BIM execution plan that sets clear coordination rules from the outset, and explore how coordinated models support the creation of a project digital twin for use beyond construction. The course builds strong competency in day-to-day model coordination, correct use of the CDE, and alignment with ISO 19650 requirements, giving participants the structured information management skills needed to keep BIM projects organized, compliant, and genuinely useful to every stakeholder.
