Description
This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to recognise a project’s Building Information Modelling (BIM) requirements and plan subsequent activities related to own construction work. It includes preparing the tools and technologies required to enable digital processes such as accessing and comparing 2D drawings and 3D models and related data.The unit applies to builders, tradespersons, project and site managers who work on construction projects that incorporate BIM interaction, collaboration and deliverables. It requires digital literacy skills to use software via information and communication technology (ICT), including applications on mobile devices to find, retrieve and communicate information.A person who has achieved this unit of competency is able to work with autonomy and take responsibility for applying BIM processes to construction work.Completion of the general construction induction training program specified by the model Code of Practice for Construction Work is required for any person who is to carry out construction work. Achievement of CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Determine BIM requirements for construction work activities.
  • 1.1 Access and interpret BIM Execution Plan to clarify BIM uses for construction project, specific work standards and methodologies.
  • 1.2 Identify any gaps in the BIM Execution Plan relating to BIM activities required or already incorporated in the construction project.
  • 1.3 Access, interpret and clarify available drawings, data and models within Common Data Environment (CDE) for collaborative project requirements.
  • 1.4 Identify BIM tools and technologies required to comply with BIM Execution Plan.
  • 1.5 Clarify BIM-required communication methods, roles and responsibilities of self and other project participants detailed in BIM Execution Plan.
2 Prepare BIM tools and technologies.
  • 2.1 Access tools and technologies required to fulfil the BIM uses, standards and methodologies according to BIM Execution Plan.
  • 2.2 Set up BIM tools and technologies according to project requirements.
  • 2.3 Review BIM tools and technologies to ensure correct operation and interoperability with BIM systems for construction work.
3 Access and compare 2D and 3D construction information.
  • 3.1 Access 2D drawings, 3D model and data relevant to construction work.
  • 3.2 Use BIM tools and technologies to navigate and interpret 3D model and data, conduct measurements, enquire and extract data and quantities required for construction work.
  • 3.3 Compare 3D model and data against 2D drawings to clarify understanding of requirements for planned construction work.
