About

Note: This program has been suspended, and no student intakes are planned from January 2025. The following information is being retained for students currently enrolled in the program.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Integrated Project Delivery 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 – owner, architect, contractors, engineers, fabricators, and subcontractors – 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’.

Three of Australia’s state governments have committed to spending $215 billion on infrastructure within a BIM framework before the end of the decade. Private sector organisations are also now specifying that their medium and large construction projects should be delivered using BIM, Lean Construction and IPD.

Bond’s Master of Building Information Modelling and Integrated Project Delivery is a cutting-edge program which has been designed in close collaboration with industry to prepare graduates for leadership roles in consultancies, client organisations and contracting organisations.

The program components align with the frameworks and standards of the industry’s leading professional bodies in Australia, the UK and the USA.

Studying a full-time study load, the Master’s qualification can be completed in just one year with Bond’s accelerated trimester schedule.

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 the community.

Outcomes

BIM project manager

The BIM project manager (PM) has a solid knowledge of all aspects of BIM and accordingly is proficient at managing all specialist professionals who are required to work on complex projects in the increasingly important full BIM design and construction environment. A BIM PM understands the complexities of intellectual property rights in the BIM environment, the use of not only model-generated documents and files, but also the application of augmented reality and virtual reality software to those files.

BIM (schedule) consultant

A BIM schedule consultant has a solid overview knowledge of all aspects of BIM and an in depth understanding of the use of specialist software to get the best possible schedule outputs using BIM data for specific projects. The BIM schedule manager is an important member of all project teams preparing documentations for complex BIM centric projects.

5D BIM (cost) consultant

A 5D BIM consultant is an expert in cost management in the BIM environment, and uses specialist cost management software, combined with a solid understanding of software from other specialist areas of the BIM environment to contribute to superior outcomes in BIM-centric design and construction on large and/or complex projects. The BIM cost manager is an important member of all project teams preparing documentations for complex BIM centric projects.
