PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

According to a recent survey the adoption of building information modeling has taken quite a hold within the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.  Building Information Modeling or BIM, is a parametric, 3D model tool that is used to generate plans, section, elevations, perspectives, details, schedules—all of the necessary components to document the design of a building.
