Course Description

This hands-on course covers the practicalities of using Autodesk® Revit® for building design through to construction documentation. Students will be introduced to the concepts of Building Information Modeling and the tools for parametric design and documentation. There is a strong emphasis on the practicalities of producing construction documentation as well as best practice techniques.

Prerequisites
Architectural design, drafting or engineering experience is highly recommended. You should be familiar with PC and Windows environments (WinXP min). Be sure to come prepared to discover the new possibilities that Revit and Building Information Modeling will open up to you.

Certification
A Caduceus Systems “Certificate of Completion” will be issued at the completion of this course.
