“BIM is not a software. It is a process. We need to upskill humans in the management of this process. They can’t simply rely on technology. It changes.”

“No matter which software you are using, you must understand what defines a project or building and the standard applications of that data. Other programs have a different focus. This is not a deep dive into the software. It’s the higher-level understanding that is much harder to acquire on your own.”

“The way we deliver projects is changing. BIM is not going away. You can’t avoid knowing how to do it. The more people who know how to use it, the more successful your projects will be. Just one person should not hold the key. All should have a basic understanding. With this program, you will become quite skilled and knowledgeable. You will learn something new both in the professional workplace and onsite.”
