INTRODUCTION
Computational BIM refers to the innovative problem-solving approach where users define algorithms to have automated generation and manipulation of building-related information for better work efficiency, effectiveness and productivity gains.
BCA Academy offers Specialist Diploma programmes in Computational BIM to equip Built Environment professionals with skills and knowledge to apply computational BIM tools for automation, optimisation and validation of different types of project. Under the modular certificate A (Course Code 79020A), learners will acquire knowledge on basic programming syntax to script across various types of computational BIM softwares. Learners could then specialise in Computational BIM for building (Course Code 79020B) projects and learn about applications, workflows, management and manipulation of data generated from BIM models for construction use, enabling better collaboration between various stakeholders.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Specialist Diploma in Computational BIM (Building) - This Specialist Diploma Programme is designed for all professionals in the built environment sector who are keen to use computational methods for building projects.
AWARD OF CERTIFICATE
A participant must attain at least 75% of physical attendance and complete all assignments to acceptable standards to be eligible to be awarded each modular certificate. Participant who did not complete the assignments to acceptable standards but attained at least 75% of physical attendance will be issued with a certificate of attendance. The successful achievement of all modular certificates will lead to the awarding of the Specialist Diploma in Computational BIM (Building)(SDCBB).
EXEMPTION
