BIM Training
Empowering Creativity Through Technology
In the architectural landscape, the brilliance of design often overshadows the complexity of execution. This is where Building Information Modeling (BIM) comes in, bridging the gap between creative vision and technical prowess. At Vertex Pavilions, our BIM Training services provide the tools you need to navigate this crucial intersection.
Given the nature of our field, things change from one day to the next. Our job is to always understand and learn about the latest solutions to offer the best service to our clients. However, merely handing over the innovative end result without explaining the best ways to use it and the thought processes behind it, as we have learned the hard way, is not the best solution. This approach often leads to frustration on the client’s part when they inevitably face difficulties with the technological solutions. Our job is to be there, within arm’s reach, to help them overcome all difficulties. We see this as an integral part of every service we offer, as it significantly improves client satisfaction.
The Genesis of BIM Training
Initially an add-on, our BIM Training has evolved into a standalone offering. It fills a gap we’ve observed among our creative partners who excel in design but find the technical side a steep climb. The training dovetails well with our Architecture services, offering a holistic approach to project execution. These collaborations often evolve into longer-term partnerships where we assist in achieving other goals, whether it be more efficient BIM management or internal BIM processes, the introduction of ISO 19650 workflows, achieving BIM level 1 or 2, or automating repetitive tasks even with custom software or plugin development.
Tailored Training
One size never fits all. That’s why our training modules are customized to address specific workflow needs, enabling seamless integration of BIM into your projects.The business models we employ involve serving as a subcontractor for targeted consulting, supplying a “loaned” specialist who temporarily becomes part of the internal team until goals are achieved, providing a “loaned” specialist to build and then hand over an in-house team and processes, and offering project-based support for the legal and operational aspects of Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based projects.
Expert Guidance
Our Graphisoft Certified BIM managers are more than just trainers; they’re empowering mentors. They are trained in implementing ISO-19650 workflows and processes. It involves a systematic and structured approach to manage and standardize digital information throughout the lifecycle of a building project. The process starts with defining the organizational and project information requirements to ensure that BIM objectives align with the company’s strategic goals and the specific needs of the project.
The next step involves the development of an Execution Plan, which outlines the implementation strategy, roles, responsibilities, and the BIM workflow. This plan should be informed by the ISO 19650 framework, which emphasizes collaboration, standardization, and the effective management of information. It is essential to appoint a BIM Manager or Information Manager to oversee the implementation process, ensuring adherence to the standards and facilitating communication among stakeholders.
Training and education are crucial components of the implementation process. Staff should be trained not only in BIM software but also in the processes and protocols specified by ISO 19650 to ensure that everyone understands the workflow and the quality and information standards required.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Does adapting BIM processes mean that some people will lose their jobs?
Adapting BIM processes within an organization doesn’t inherently lead to job losses; rather, it often results in a transformation of roles and responsibilities. As BIM implementation unfolds, employees may need to reskill or upskill to master new software, tools, and workflows, shifting from traditional tasks to more technology-driven roles. This transition not only involves learning but also offers opportunities for career advancement, as new positions such as BIM Managers, Coordinators, and Specialists become essential. The shift towards BIM aims to enhance efficiency and reduce errors, which, while reducing the demand for certain manual tasks, elevates the importance of strategic and creative contributions from staff. Furthermore, adopting BIM can boost a company’s competitiveness, potentially leading to increased business and job security. The move towards a more collaborative work environment, a hallmark of BIM, promotes teamwork and improves employee satisfaction. Effective management of this transition is crucial, with a focus on transparent communication and support for employees adapting to new roles and technologies.
