Graduate Certificate in Building Information Modelling and Integrated Project Delivery

About

Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) represent the future of the construction industry.

Developed in response to the challenge of lost productivity, budget blow-outs, time over-runs and waste that plagued major construction projects, IPD is a way of managing projects so that every member of the building team work collaboratively throughout the construction process.

The sharing of information between these team members is made easier by the growing use of BIM – a process of creating and managing information on a construction project whereby every aspect of the build asset has a digital description that becomes part of the ‘model’.

This program is fully accredited by buildingSMART Australasia, and has been designed in close collaboration with industry to prepare graduates for leadership roles in consultancies, client organisations, and contracting organisations. All program components align with the BIM framework of buildingSMART Australasia, the open standards of buildingSMART international, the principles espoused by the Lean Construction Institutes of Australia, the UK and the USA, and internationally recognised principles of IPD.

The graduate certificate is the first step of an articulated postgraduate pathway. You can continue your studies taking an additional four coursework subjects to earn a graduate diploma and a final capstone project (40 credit points) for the full master’s qualification.

Career

What can you do with your degree?

The Queensland Government recently decided that all infrastructure projects costing more than $50m are to be delivered using Building Information Modelling.

This is just one indicator that the design and delivery of construction and infrastructure projects is moving to another level, and that means opportunity can be expected to increase. Increasingly, clients are requiring that their medium and large construction and infrastructure projects be delivered using Building Information Modelling and Integrated Project Delivery systems.

Bond’s suite of postgraduate programs in Building Information Modelling ((BIM) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) has been designed to prepare you to serve the immediate and long-term needs of government and industry as they continue to develop infrastructure and construction projects for the benefit of community.
