Summary
The module has three core components:
1. The UK BIM Framework: students explore the standards and guidance contained within the UK BIM Framework and develop their understanding of the processes and resources required to implement information management in the context of a construction project.
2. Common data environments: technological solutions are considered and configuration requirements developed.
3. Geometrical modelling: students develop their capability to create, assess and report on, co-ordinated geometrical models of building services installations.

Educational Aims
This module aims to equip students with the knowledge and understanding needed to enable them to set out a project information management methodology, to configure a CDE solution and to create and co-ordinate geometrical models for the heating and ventilation aspects of building services installations.Learning Outcomes
- Understanding of the UK BIM Framework and its application for the delivery phase of a project.
- Understanding of the purpose and operation of a CDE solution along information container naming and management approaches
- Ability to produce key components of information management resources (for example, those covering information planning and delivery)
- Ability to create, co-ordinate and analyse geometrical models for aspects of heating and ventilation systems
- Ability to simulate and report on geometrical model clashes using software.
This module supports the following Engineering Council learning outcomes - supporting students to:
M3. Select and apply computational and analytical techniques to model broadly-defined problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed
M10. Adopt a holistic and proportionate approach to the mitigation of security risks
M16. Function effectively as an individual and as a member or leader of a team. Evaluate effectiveness of own and team performance
M17. Communicate effectively on complex engineering matters with technical and non-technical audiences, evaluating the effectiveness of the methods used
