BIM principles report.

3.2 Assignment 1 – BIM principles report.

3.2.1 Assignment objectives
On completion of this assignment the student should be able to:
– Understand the principles of Building Information Modelling (BIM)
– Correctly apply knowledge of BIM technology and software
– Designate BIM roles and responsibilities to different stakeholders in the
construction industry
3.2.2 Assignment brief
Starting in week one you will be introduced to various aspects of BIM principles
and their implications. These include technology, stakeholders, construction
process and business rationale aspects. The first four weeks of lectures will cover
the material necessary to complete this report. The assignment requires students
to demonstrate analytical thinking in reflecting upon real-life problems relating to
BIM principles and their implications in terms of technology, stakeholders,
construction process and business rationale. Students are encouraged to read
additional material that will be provided on Blackboard, as well as doing their own
investigations.
Please pay careful attention to the assignment objectives, and in no more than
2000 words (excluding notes, diagrams, tables, figures, footnotes and reference
list) outline the critical principles of BIM and the role of a BIM manager (and what
the role is not).

This course places a high value on the development of students’ academic and
professional writing including such qualities as structuring sections and paragraphs
to bring out a sound professional discussion, control of the conciseness and
relevance of the discussion, ability to summarise and critique the arguments of
pertinent writers, and to use appropriate citation and referencing techniques. You
must of course meet the required standard of academic integrity (see Section 4 of
this Course Outline). Your final submission must include a cover page, and be
submitted via Turnitin to ensure compliance with this requirement. Your work will
be assessed in accordance with the associated marking rubric contained in section
3.2.4.
