Course Overview

This 12-month course designed for polytechnic diploma holders involves taking up skills-based modules from a renowned Building Construction Authority Academy (BCAA) programme and from Temasek Polytechnic (TP) while working in the industry. It will equip you with the knowledge and skill-sets to be proficient in virtual designs and Building Information Modelling (BIM) functions in the different stages of a building’s life cycle. You will learn about BIM digital design, BIM asset management and BIM construction planning and management. You will also work on BIM projects with industry-standard BIM collaboration platforms/tools, and learn about the various BCA standards including making the required BIM e-submissions to various statutory boards for construction or facility management projects.

 

 

Academic Progression

 

Participants have the option to continue with the pursuit of Bachelor's Degree programmes offered by BCA Academy, and the graduates who apply for SIT could also be considered for exemption from a selected module, subjected to them meeting specific minimum requirements, at SIT's discretion.


All students are required to bring their own notebooks for lessons. You may refer to the required technical specifications for notebook HERE.

What You'll Learn

Participants who have successfully completed and obtained a minimum pass grade for all the subjects in any of the post-diploma certificates will be awarded a Post-Diploma Certificate (PDC) in the specific domain area. The Specialist Diploma in BIM Construction & Asset Management will be awarded jointly by TP and BCAA to participants who have successfully completed and obtained a pass grade for all the required subjects in both PDCs.

Subject Code Subject
ECBD201 BIM Building Data & Collaboration

This hands-on practice based subject provides participants with the know-how and practical skills of modelling in digital design engineering using various BIM tools used in the industry. Topics covered also include the collaboration aspects of various stakeholders in the build environment disciplines: interior design, architecture, structures, mechanical, electrical and quantity surveyor. 

ECBD202 BIM Asset Management

This subject provides participants with the knowledge and skills to create BIM model from 3D scanning and manage BIM data in overall asset management of a facility. The processes of 3D Scanning to BIM Facility Management model will be taught through practical hands-on sessions.

ECBD203 BIM Project 1

This subject allows participants to apply and integrate the knowledge and skills taught in the subject modules to solve authentic problems they encounter in the workplace. Project measures students’ ability to create and design, showcase coordination or collaboration work among disciplines or implement solutions and ideas with respect to the requirements of the project statement. The project nature should be the following:

  • It must be a substantial work related to the company existing project/program in any of these relevant BE areas: interior design, architecture, structures, mechanical, electrical, quantity surveying, and facility management.
  • It may be an innovative BIM: modeling, system or process; or an improvement to the existing BIM model, work-flow or system.

It may include some form of BIM developmental work, evaluation of workable designs and implementation of project ideas.

Subject Code Subject
ECBD204 BIM for Construction Planning

This practice-based subject provides participants with practical skills in planning construction process for BIM project. Topics covered include the project information preparation and site planning, BIM for precast and prefabrication construction project coordination, 4D/5D BIM for project scheduling and costing. 

ECBD205 BIM for Construction Management

This subject provides participants with the know-how and practical skills in managing design processes for BIM implementation in building construction related project. The subject covers documentation, e-submission, design visualization and spatial coordination as well as multi-disciplinary model integration, strategies and coordination work.

ECBD206 BIM Project 2

This subject extends the participants’ ability to apply and integrate the knowledge and skills taught in the subject modules to solve authentic problems they encounter in the workplace. Project measures students’ ability to plan and manage coordination works among disciplines or implement solutions and ideas with respect to the requirements of the project statement. The project nature should be the following:

  • It must be a substantial work related to the company existing construction/ sustainability/energy project or program.
  • It may be an innovative BIM construction system and processes or an improvement to the existing BIM plan, work-flow or system.

It may be an expansion of BIM Project 1 with added depth to the constructability assessment, evaluation of construction designs and implementation of project ideas on site.
