This module introduces digital modelling and information management in construction projects. The module provides a range of theory and technical concepts associated with projects based on nD modelling. Students will evaluate and improve the management of construction projects by adopting Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools.

Note: This module is for CDIC students only
