Informational Brochure

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a working methodology that allows integrating all stakeholders in the construction industry under a BIM execution plan and organized by modeling protocols for each specialty.

The intention of this methodology is to have all project information in the cloud and in a shared database in a common data environment accessible to all stakeholders. The sequence, monitoring, and workflow are managed by a BIM Manager and supported by a BIM coordinator for each specialty to manage the 3D models uploaded to the digital platform.

BIM management is currently a very important coordination tool in the construction industry due to its impact on the final project cost. Its proper understanding and implementation will allow the development of more efficient and mechanized work processes and methodologies to achieve its goal of optimizing both time and resources.

This diploma aims to provide participants with the necessary knowledge for BIM management and implementation in construction industry projects.

Academic level: intermediate advanced

As an accountant by profession, I have always been immersed in the world of numbers. I have provided my services in various sectors including banking, commerce, floriculture, telecommunications, automotive, and construction. One of the tools that has been instrumental in my professional career is Microsoft Excel. I have effectively applied Excel in each of the companies where I have worked. In the construction industry, Excel is indispensable for tasks such as budget calculation, project control, unit prices, work progress tracking, and accounting control. Excel's versatility extends to its compatibility with other software commonly used in this field. Therefore, my goal is to share my experience with professionals interested in enhancing and expanding their knowledge in this area.
