Course Description
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the common elements and terminologies used in architecture, structural, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) disciplines of building prototypes. It covers the essential knowledge needed to understand how buildings are designed and constructed, including the components, materials, and processes that support the entire building system and functions. Additionally, the course will cover important safety and health knowledge that is required for working on construction sites, as well as the roles and responsibilities of individuals within design and construction teams.
Target Audience
The course is suitable for non-construction personnel looking to embark on a career in the construction industry, or for professionals who work in related fields and want to gain a better understanding of building design and construction in general and within BIM.
Course Outcome
Upon completion of this course, trainees will have a good understanding of the functions, operations, and requirements in the design and construction of a project. They will be equipped with the knowledge to understand the different components that make up a building and how they work together, as well as the materials and processes used in building construction. They will also understand the importance of safety and health in the construction industry and the roles and responsibilities of different members of the design and construction teams. The course will provide a foundation of knowledge that will be beneficial for those who wish to embark on Building Information Modelling (BIM) and understand how construction and building works, in order to use this information when designing and constructing buildings.
