Overview

By researching a workplace’s context including market, people, management and technical processes, students in this Unit will identify the potential for organisational BIM implementation. Students will investigate organisational working relationships with project stakeholders and what challenges and potential exists in their involvement with the goals for BIM implementation, exploring the complex issues around capability, willingness for collaboration and the need for clear working agreements. Students will explore leadership and how they can develop strategies for integrating BIM. They will become versed in the maintenance of a workload that balances project-involvement with broader organisational change and innovation.
