Kurzbeschreibung | This course will provide both a theoretical background and a pragmatic project work (case studies) on current trends and developments of information modeling and management in the construction industry around the world and in Switzerland. The course will include external lecturers from engineering and construction companies in Switzerland. |
Lernziel | Students enrolled in this course are expected to become familiar with current information modeling and management technologies and their applications to the construction industry, and to get a good understanding of new project delivery systems and technologies for integrated practice. |
Inhalt | The content of the course is summarized in the following topics: - Introduction to information modeling and management technologies - Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) (vs. traditional delivery methods) - Information model execution plan - Information modeling tools and parametric modeling - Interoperability - Standards and foundations - Implications for engineers and the construction industry - Implications for owners and facility managers - Information Modeling and Prefabrication - Construction Analysis and Planning (4D modeling) - Quantity Takeoff and Cost Estimating (5D modeling) |
Skript | The slides for the class will be available for download from Moodle at least one day before each class. Copies of all necessary documents will be distributed at appropriate times. |
Literatur | Relevant readings will be recommended throughout the course and made available to the students via Moodle. |
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | There are no pre-requisites to enroll in this course. Note: the use of special software (e.g. Revit, ArchiCAD) or simulation software (e.g., Bentley ConstrucSim, Navisworks, Solibri Model Checker, etc.) is beyond the scope of this course. |
