The Delivery of this Module is set out to engage the students, in Remote and On-Site Practice, to improve their skill set on Data Capture and analysis.

The expectation is for each student to gain experience on many ways of Data Capture, and how this information is consumed and analysed, in the context of a Main Contractor/Sub contractor.

Once this information is consumed and analysed, further knowledge is gain and how this information is disseminated to all Stakeholders.

1. DemonstrateanunderstandingofDigital DataCaptureon Site using various platforms- Anoverview

2. Evaluate Software and or Processes, to get a deeper understanding of the Processes required to be successful for your Project,

3. Evaluate a site, based on performance, usingKey Performance Indicators (KPI)

4. Critically analyse the Performanceof Sitebased activities, using Analytical Data. This Data should be used to improve performance in particularTime Analysis (4D)

5. Critically evaluate the errors and omissions on Site, based on information received by Stakeholders and understand the cost that can be offset in the future.

This module focusses on the use of BIM software tools to design, investigate and adapt buildings with an emphasis on sustainability. Aspects of sustainability covered include daylighting analysis, energy and thermal response, and airflow modelling.

1. Construct simple and complex building models using BIM authoring software for sustainability simulation.

2. Apply the principles of sustainability to the design and analysis of building performance.

3. Develop solutions for sustainable building design considering natural lighting, natural ventilation, construction materials and climate data.

4. Produce design solution documentation to a professional standard.

The purpose of this module is to enable the participants to have detailed knowledge of the BIM process and collaboratively in a BIM environment in the construction industry.
