AGC BIM Education Program 3rd Edition
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing the way projects are constructed. Whether you are a prime contractor using
BIM across an entire project, or a subcontractor impacted by a specific BIM implementation, this emerging practice requires
new mindsets and technological know-how in order to achieve significant improvements in efficiency and cost control. AGC’s
BIM Education Program — developed in conjunction with leading BIM practitioners, technology firms and educators — is de-
signed to prepare construction professionals at all experience levels to successfully implement BIM on a construction project.
UNIT 1 - AN INTRODUCTION TO BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (3RD EDITION) is a full-day course that
provides a comprehensive overview of BIM practices and terminology while introducing important concepts
necessary to understand how BIM is changing the construction process.
UNIT 2 - BIM TECHNOLOGY (3RD EDITION) is a full-day course designed to provide a neutral introduction
to BIM tools. Throughout the course, tools are introduced as they relate to the functions they perform, as
well as particular phases in a project where they have the strongest capabilities. By understanding these
differences, it is possible for each attendee to determine what questions need to be asked prior to making
an investment in technology.
UNIT 3 - BIM PROJECT EXECUTION PLANNING (3RD EDITION) is a full-day course that examines BIM and
contract terminology to determine best practices for integrating BIM use into project execution planning.
Core project execution planning activities are discussed and practiced to help participants become BIM
champions within their organizations.
UNIT 4 - BIM ADOPTION, IMPLEMENTATION, AND ROI (3RD EDITION) is a full-day course that provides a
foundation for participants to establish and execute the BIM process, facilitate its adoption, and achieve
integration on a single project and at a company level to execute multiple BIM projects simultaneously.
These tools will help establish participants as BIM champions within their organizations.
