Online Building Information Modeling (CM-BIM)

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing the way projects are constructed. Whether you are a prime contractor using BIM across an entire project or a subcontractor impacted by a specific BIM implementation, this emerging practice requires new mindsets and technological know-how in order to achieve significant improvements in efficiency and cost control. AGC's BIM Education Program — developed in conjunction with leading BIM practitioners, technology firms, and educators—is designed to prepare construction professionals at all experience levels to successfully implement BIM on a construction project. Candidates who successfully complete the four AGC BIM Education Program courses are eligible to apply for the AGC Certificate of Management - Building Information Modeling (CM-BIM) Exam. This assessment-based certificate credential denotes knowledge and understanding of concepts related to BIM adoption, practice and process transformation outlined in the AGC BIM Education Program.

Online Unit 1: Introduction to

Building Information Modeling This course provides a complete overview of BIM concepts, terminology and practice as well an an introduction to important uses and concepts to help you understand how BIM is changing the construction process. Session 1 focuses on explaining common terms and answering the questions "What is BIM?”, addresses why BIM should be used on construction projects, and describes the potential benefits that can be realized by designers, contractors, subcontractors, vendors and owners when BIM is used. Session 2 examines the process that a company typically goes through to start incorporating BIM into its business practices. This session looks at how technology is helpful to facilitate the elimination of work silos, describes the advantages of the BIM process and shares some of the workflow processes associated with BIM. Session 3 introduces some of the more advanced uses of BIM, following the typical progression a company goes through in its BIM implementation plan. This session examines case studies of 4D and 5D BIM and describes new topics that are impacting BIM today. Session 4 is where all the BIM concepts come together and you start thinking about the next steps. This session describes the four options for BIM implementation. Attendees will develop a BIM assessment survey that they can take back to their organization.

Online Unit 2: BIM Technology

BIM Technology is the second of four courses that comprise AGC's Building Information Modeling Education Program. This course provides you with a great deal of information about the types of BIM tools and their functions to enable you to make better purchasing decisions. The course is divided into 4 sessions: Session 1 focuses on giving participants an overview of BIM technologies and the definitions that will be used throughout the course. It looks at tool classes and functions, which are instrumental in developing an understanding of the primary use for any application. Session 2 takes a comprehensive look at a range of products, organized in a logical workflow for a BIM project. This is the core of the course, and there is a lot of ground to cover. The focus is that tools need to fit the process, not the other way around. Session 3 defines a four-step process of software selection that participants can use as they start purchasing BIM software applications. Session 4 explores some of the more granular details of BIM. The session briefly explores the topic of file formats, from the perspective of open versus proprietary, then from the perspective of interoperability.

Online Unit 3: BIM Project Execution Planning

BIM Project Execution Planning is the third of four courses that comprise AGC's Building Information Modeling Education Program. This course is divided into four sessions: Session 1 introduces participants to teaming dynamics that are most desired, if not required, for a successful project. During this session, you will learn what qualities are necessary for a successful project team, the importance of establishing an environment of shared vision and accountability for each team member, to each other. We will also look at the impact of different size groups and how to adapt without compromising the project goals. Session 2 examines some of the more basic BIM-related legal concepts. We will focus on providing a fairly high-level perspective on a range of legal topics that attendees should know. These are general concepts that are evolving, along with BIM. We'll look at risk, intellectual property and standard of care. Session 3 is all about gaining a strong understanding of the BIM Project Execution Plan (BIM PXP). We will look at the basic questions of what is necessary, as well as how you can use the plan for any size project(s). Session 4 is your time to participate in a BIM project team activity. You will be part of a team, with a defined role, and you will apply what you have learned in the course.

Session 1 of this unit introduces the overall course structure and describes why this unit is to relevant today. This session defines key terms and sets the stage for the rest of the day, reinforcing the practical takeaways you will learn along the way. Session 2 examines basic BIM implementation at the project level. This session focuses on ow to establish and execute the BIM process, facilitate its adoption, and achieve integration on a single project. Session 3 explores how companies (whether single- or multi- office) can successfully execute the BIM process on multiple projects simultaneously. We will also explore any differences in the adoption or integration of the process in this broader context.

Online Lean Construction

Education Program (LCEP) Lean Construction is based on the holistic pursuit to optimize efficiency, maximize value, and minimize costs through all phases of a construction project: planning, design, construction, activation, operations, maintenance, salvaging, and recycling. Everyone related to the construction process has an incentive to get the project done faster and at a lower cost - from the project owners who want to see tangible results for their investment, to the contractors and designers who want to do their job well and move on to the next project. AGC of America developed the 7-unit Lean Construction Education Program (LCEP) to help contractors develop the knowledge needed to build projects using Lean practices. Construction professionals at all experience levels will learn the building blocks necessary to transform their projects and companies into a Lean operating system. Please turn to the next pages for more information about each of the following Lean Units.
