Synopsis:

The course deals with Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a modern tool for the design, construction and operation of construction projects. It focuses on advanced applications of information technology in construction and design companies. Software tools that are used for quality control, measurement, preparation of bills of quantities, simulation of construction progress, robotics in civil and transportation construction, and cybercrime, its risks and measures in construction projects. The subject content includes information on contracting digitisation on construction projects.
