01What is BIM (Building Information Modelling)

What is BIM (Building Information Modelling)? In plain words.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a way of designing, building and managing construction projects using shared, data-rich 3D models. Instead of separate drawings, architects, structural engineers and MEP engineers build intelligent models that carry quantities, materials and schedules. BIM is a process, supported by software such as Autodesk Revit, Navisworks and Civil 3D, and by standards such as ISO 19650 that define how project information is named, shared and delivered.

BIM is now expected on large commercial, infrastructure, airport, metro and hospital projects, and many overseas clients require ISO 19650-based information management. Indian construction companies and BIM service firms that support clients in the Middle East, UK, USA and Australia hire modellers, coordinators and managers who understand both the software and the process. Employers value people who can build accurate models and also follow execution plans, naming rules and levels of detail.

Growing construction around Vellore, Katpadi and Ranipet, including hospitals, colleges and industrial buildings near SIPCOT Ranipet, is slowly adopting model-based workflows. BIM skills also give local graduates access to BIM service and construction firms in Chennai and Bengaluru that work on Indian and overseas projects.

  • Take part in BIM coordination, shop drawings and as-built models
  • Produce 2D drawings, terrain models and quantities that support BIM projects

02Why learn it

Why learn BIM (Building Information Modelling) now?

Six reasons students and professionals in Vellore district pick this skill.

Industry is moving to BIM

Large building and infrastructure projects increasingly ask for BIM models and ISO 19650-based information delivery.

Process and software together

The programmes cover BIM standards and execution planning as well as hands-on modelling in Revit and related tools.

Roles for every discipline

There are separate paths for architecture, structure, MEP, drawings and landscaping, so you can follow your own branch.

Fewer errors on site

Coordinated models help teams catch clashes and quantity mistakes before construction starts.

Work on global projects

BIM service firms in India deliver models for overseas clients, which opens up a wider job market.

Clear career ladder

BIM offers a visible path from modeller to coordinator to BIM manager.

Ask on WhatsApp
What is BIM?

BIM, or Building Information Modelling, is a way of designing and managing construction projects using shared 3D models that carry data such as materials, quantities and schedules. It is supported by software like Revit and by standards like ISO 19650.

Who can join the BIM programmes?

Architecture, civil, mechanical and electrical students and graduates, diploma holders, AutoCAD users and working engineers can join. Choose the programme that matches your branch and experience.

How long is each BIM programme?

Certificate in BIM Concepts (MC) is 60 hours. The Essential programmes (BIM for Architects, Drawings, Landscaping, MEP and Structural Design) are 40 hours each. Proficient in BIM is 80 hours.

Which BIM programme should I choose?

Take BIM Concepts for standards and information management, an Essential programme for focused skills in your discipline, or Proficient in BIM for a complete path. The counsellor can help you decide based on your background.

Is BIM the same as Revit?

No. Revit is one of the main BIM software tools, but BIM also covers processes, standards, execution plans and coordination. Several programmes here combine BIM process with Revit modelling.

Can I learn BIM online or in hybrid mode?

Yes. Classroom, online and hybrid modes are available depending on trainer availability at your chosen centre.

Is a free demo class available?

You can ask for a demo session when you enquire. The centre will arrange it based on the trainer's schedule.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes. On completing the programme and assessments, you receive a CADD Centre certificate through CareerKraft, its authorised training partner.

Do you provide placement support?

We offer placement support, including resume help, mock interviews and job leads. We do not guarantee a job.

What are the fees for BIM courses?

Fees vary by programme. The counsellor at your chosen centre will share the current fee, offers and EMI options on WhatsApp.

Do I need a laptop, and what jobs can I get?

A laptop is optional because you can practise on the centre's systems. Common roles are BIM modeller, BIM coordinator and MEP or structural BIM engineer, with freshers typically around ₹2.4–4 LPA (indicative only).

Which centre can I join and what are the timings?

All BIM programmes run at Katpadi, Vellore and Ranipet. Centres are open Monday to Saturday 9:30 am–6:30 pm and Sunday 9:00 am–2:00 pm.
