Learn to author, coordinate, and deliver real BIM and CAD production work — CAD drafting standards, Revit authoring, multi-discipline coordination and clash detection, parametric and generative design, point cloud/reality capture, digital twins, and 5D/4D BIM.
25 modules in 5 phases, with worked examples, interactive tools, labs and a quiz in every one, and a certificate of completion.
Document a model decision, issue and verification record.
All five discipline models are aggregated into one federated model in Navisworks, and clash tests are run in defined groupings rather than one giant all-against-all test, because an unstructured test buries a handful of serious clashes inside thousands of trivial or duplicate ones. This project runs four standing clash tests: Structure vs. Mechanical, Structure vs. Fire Protection, Mechanical vs. Electrical vs.…
Selected training excerpt, not a complete design or a project submission. The full project includes its assumptions, methods and checks.
Build your own phase-by-phase workbook, record the evidence behind your decisions and download your work.
Convert a real dimension into its length on a scaled drawing. Confirm the paper length before choosing a sheet layout.
Drawing length = actual length ÷ scale denominator
Uniform linear drawing scale only; no view distortion, annotation sizing or coordination validation. This free exercise does not mark a paid module complete.

Finish all required module quizzes to unlock your certificate of completion. Modules with a score requirement must meet that requirement. Your project portfolio and skills summary are separate downloads for your own learning record.
A certificate of completion is not a professional license or accreditation.
12 real project templates — a BIM Execution Plan template, model element/LOD matrix, clash detection report, CAD layer standard, sheet index and drawing list, point cloud registration log, family/content naming standard, model quality control checklist, coordination meeting minutes, RFI template, punch list, and an as-built/model turnover checklist. Available for download from Module 20 (Documentation & Resource Kit) once you've unlocked the program.
