TRAINING.

Overview

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• Gain an understanding of building Information modeling principles used by industry
• Develop an understanding of model navigation and development within the Autodesk Revit platform
• Become familiar with the tools required to develop a design intent model for document development
• Understand the concepts and best practices for model development and collaboration using Autodesk Revit

Description:

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is no longer an emerging idea. It has solidified itself as the future of delivering projects in the AEC industry, and is being requested by an increasing number of clients.

Autodesk Revit is the most common BIM authoring tool in North America. As more of the industry moves towards working with BIM, it will be vital to not only have advanced skills using Revit, but also know how to best leverage it on projects. In this introductory course, you will begin your journey in mastering Revit to deliver successful and profitable projects

Instructor

Patrick Giljanovic is a Professional Electrical Engineer with over 13 years of experience working in the design and construction administration of a wide array of building projects. During this time, Patrick has used Revit almost exclusively to deliver the electrical drawing packages for tender and construction. His first project utilizing the Revit software platform was in 2009. Most notably is his Revit experience to deliver large multi-discipline construction projects such as hospitals and airports. His work experience includes, but is not limited to, leading the electrical design in power, communications, lighting, security, fire alarm and audio-visual systems.

Patrick has over 4 years of experience training engineers and drafters to leverage the capabilities of Revit to produce drawings for the electrical and mechanical disciplines.

Patrick is currently employed as a Senior Project Engineer for Mott MacDonald Canada.
