Construction businesses in Scotland can now boost their BIM knowledge without leaving the office, thanks to Construction Scotland Innovation Centre\u2019s<\/a> (CSIC) free new e-learning platform<\/h2>\n

Launched as part of CSIC\u2019s<\/a> renewed BIM in Practice programme, the platform will host six e-learning modules and provide access to multiple resources to help organisations build an understanding of BIM. The first module \u2013 \u2018BIM Awareness\u2019 \u2013 is available now, with more to be added over the coming months.<\/p>\n

The BIM in Practice programme of support has been designed to raise awareness of the opportunities Scottish construction companies can realise through BIM Level 2<\/a>. It demonstrates the benefits that can be achieved through knowledge sharing, collaboration, innovation and best practice.<\/p>\n

The programme is designed to support businesses from their initial awareness of BIM to the continuous development of their BIM journey, offering support at all stages.<\/p>\n

As well as offering a series of free events, seminars and workshops in Inverness, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh, the new BIM in Practice programme includes use of the e-learning platform, the ability to join an online BIM discussion forum to connect with and share ideas with other professionals and access to expertise and project support from CSIC\u2019s business relationship team.<\/p>\n

Lisa Deane, Skills and Training Manager, Construction Scotland Innovation Centre<\/a> said: \u201cWith support from Scottish Enterprise and in conjunction with a range of industry partners we are delighted to be launching our new e-learning platform, to help individuals and organisations on their journey towards implementing BIM Level 2.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first module is now available and we plan to develop a further five free-to-access e-learning modules over the coming months.<\/p>\n

\u201cBIM level 2 can deliver cost savings and added value to construction projects in the context of a more collaborative and innovative environment. By sharing design information through a common file format, it enables organisations to work collaboratively on small and large scale construction projects, thereby reducing risks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colin Hastie, CSIC\u2019s BIM Technical Consultant, added: \u201cHere at CSIC, we want to see our sector transform into one that makes better use of digitisation and automation to drive greater profitability, productivity, efficiency and sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see BIM as a key part of that transformation. It will support the creation of buildings that are fit for the 21st century \u2013 greener, more efficient, and with more intelligent infrastructure. I\u2019d encourage any forward-thinking construction business to get in touch and take advantage of this free package of support from CSIC.\u201d<\/p>\n

To maximise the benefits of this free programme, CSIC strongly recommends that interested businesses sign up to the full series of workshops and support.<\/p>\n
