‘BIM for Site Managers’ Online Training
30th May 2017

A new online training course, BIM for Site Managers, has been launched by BRE Academy and the CITB (Construction Industry Training Board) to equip site managers with a solid grounding in BIM (Building Information Modelling).

This online course has been specifically developed to support site managers.  It discusses the key principles of BIM and will help site managers understand their responsibilities and the actions they need to take.

It is one of the first of a series refreshed format courses to be release by BRE Academy since appointing new head of eLearning, Darren Ardeman, and investing heavily in new software technologies for a continuously improved learning experience.

The course covers:

• Defining the process known as BIM Level 2, definitions and terminology
• An understanding of how to improve workflows
• How to limit liabilities
• How to reduce risk on deliverables
• How BIM can reduce costly waste and improve accuracy (and increase profit margins)

Director of BRE Academy, Pauline Traetto, said: “BIM is all about ‘Information Management’ process and procedures, and the common data environment (CDE). Our mission is to ensure that the whole supply chain is competent in BIM Level 2, and that both individuals and employers within the Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industries fit into the BIM Level 2 process. The CITB has highlighted how key site managers are in delivering BIM projects, and we are delighted to have been their partner of choice for creating this course.”

Ben Lever, CITB Future Skills Manager, said “BIM is becoming ever more important in construction, which is why we are pleased to have worked with BRE to develop this new online course. Led by the forward-thinking team at BRE Academy, it provides the targeted and rigorous training that’s really needed.”
