Course Overview
This 5-day course is designed to equip construction and design professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to apply Building Information Modeling (BIM) to prefabrication and modular construction projects. The training explores how BIM supports offsite construction, from modular building design to optimizing construction assembly. Through hands-on practice and case studies, participants will learn how to coordinate design, improve production workflows, and implement industrialized construction techniques for improved quality, cost, and schedule control.
