Introduction:
Course dates:
7 - 9 April 2025, Monday to Wednesday 9 am - 4 pm
Transform the way you design and manage projects with this immersive, hands-on course in Building Information Modeling (BIM) and AutoDesk Revit.
In just three days, you’ll gain the skills to create 3D construction models that enhance design precision, streamline project collaboration, and optimise workflows. Perfect for both new and experienced professionals, this course covers everything from basic Revit tools to advanced BIM applications.
Guided by an expert tutor, you’ll work through real-world construction scenarios, learning to use Revit’s powerful tools for building information, visualisation, and project coordination.
By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence and practical skills to produce data-rich models that drive project efficiency and quality.
-
Engage with like-minded professionals in a collaborative studio setting that encourages idea sharing. -
With a limited class size you'll have the one-to-one attention you need to ensure you leave with the skills to continue developing your designs at home or work. -
Benefit from learning with an experienced tutor who has established links to the profession and significant experience working in varied practices. -
On successful completion of the course, you will receive a digital certificate of attendance and a digital badge.
Here’s what our previous attendees said:
‘This course gave me the basic understanding (and a lot more!) to help me move forward. I really enjoyed it. It was well paced and ideal with a small class – I think this is really important, so that questions can be asked and answered.’ JC
‘I enjoyed the course and look forward to putting into practice what I learnt. Many thanks to Geoff for a brilliant three days.’ DS
‘All of the content was most informative. A valuable learning experience.’ TP
‘Our tutor was very good at adapting the course to meet our needs, especially with regards to the huge number of questions asked by the group. And it was good to receive paper handouts as well and digital copies.’ MW
‘I strongly recommend the course to other people.’ NN
What you’ll study
On this course you’ll gain a practical understanding of BIM principles and develop essential skills to use AutoDesk Revit for high-quality construction and engineering projects.
During this course you will:
- understand the origins and impact of BIM on modern engineering and its role in improving project collaboration and efficiency
- master Revit’s interface, modeling tools, and techniques to create detailed, information-rich 3D models
- develop organic forms and complex architectural elements, such as curtain walls, staircases, and custom components
- work within multi-user environments, link and import CAD files, and export data to ensure seamless collaboration across project teams
- use BIM tools for clash detection, design verification, and data analysis to prevent errors and optimise project outcomes
- create and format annotated drawings, schedules, and detailed construction plans for print-ready documentation.
You’ll leave this course with comprehensive BIM and Revit skills, ready to create sophisticated construction models and documentation that align with industry standards.
You’ll also have gained valuable insights into how BIM can improve your workflows, helping you to deliver efficient, high-quality projects.
Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll study during the course:
- Revit Fundamentals
- Modelling Techniques
- Advanced BIM and Collaboration Tools
- BIM Analysis and Project Documentation
Get to know Revit’s interface and master essential tools like grids, walls, doors, floors, and layouts.
Expand your modelling skills with 3D views, schedules, curtain walling, and rendering for a fully developed project model.
Learn about linking models, managing data, and working in a collaborative environment for seamless project management.
Generate and optimise professional construction documentation, using BIM for detailed data insights and project planning.
