BIM (Building Information Modelling) Course in Vellore

Our Vellore centre on Anna Salai, near Raja Theatre, is in the middle of the city – easy to reach from the bus stands for a BIM (Building Information Modelling) class before or after college or work. 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.

The course runs as 7 programmes (40–80 h), from foundation to advanced level, so you can start where you are and go as far as you need. By the end you will be able to explain BIM maturity levels, BIM dimensions and the role of digital transformation in construction and apply ISO 19650 concepts, information requirements (OIR, AIR, PIR) and common data environment workflows. The same syllabus and certificate apply at Katpadi, Vellore and Ranipet.

After BIM (Building Information Modelling), roles such as BIM Modeller, BIM Coordinator and BIM Engineer – MEP are the usual targets; from Vellore the nearest employers are Vellore’s hospitals, retail chains and leather and footwear units and the Bengaluru-highway belt.

Working through BIM (Building Information Modelling), you will learn to prepare a BIM execution plan with goals, BIM uses, process maps and information exchanges, choose suitable levels of detail and level of information need for model elements and build architectural, structural and MEP models in Revit with schedules and sheets.

You will work with Navisworks-style coordination and clash detection, Dynamo scripting basics and Common data environment workflows; the Essential in Drawings for BIM programme includes modules such as Blocks and Attributes, Drafting and Dimensions and Layers and Properties.

Roles to aim for include BIM Engineer – MEP – models and coordinates HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems in BIM and BIM Engineer – Structural – models structural elements and reinforcement and prepares structural documentation. Basic computer skills are needed for all programmes. For the modelling programmes, a background in architecture, civil, mechanical or electrical engineering and some AutoCAD knowledge will help. The BIM Concepts certificate is theory-focused and needs no software experience.

In Vellore city, hospitals and medical colleges, engineering colleges and a busy construction trade create steady demand for drafting, building services and product design. The centre on Anna Salai suits people who work in the city and want an evening or weekend batch without long travel.
