The Revit (BIM) Short Course is a practical, hands-on program designed to introduce students to Building Information Modeling (BIM) using Autodesk Revit. This course equips learners with the skills to create, manage, and present digital building models that integrate both design and technical documentation.
Participants will start with the basics of the Revit interface, project setup, and model creation before moving on to building architectural elements such as walls, floors, windows, doors, and ceilings. They will also learn how to develop 3D views, elevations, sections, and construction details, ensuring their models can be used for both design visualization and technical documentation.
A key focus is placed on BIM workflows—students will understand how Revit goes beyond drawing to create intelligent models that store real data, improving accuracy, efficiency, and collaboration between designers, engineers, and contractors. The course also covers material applications, lighting, and rendering, giving students the ability to create professional, client-ready presentations.
By the end of the program, participants will be able to confidently use Revit to produce industry-standard BIM models, technical drawings, and visual presentations—a skill highly valued in modern interior design, architecture, and construction industries.
The Revit (BIM) Short Course provides learners with a strong foundation in Building Information Modeling (BIM), focusing on how Autodesk Revit is used to design, document, and visualize architectural and interior projects. Unlike traditional CAD tools, Revit enables designers to work with intelligent 3D models that combine geometry with real-world building data, making it one of the most powerful tools in the design and construction industry.
In this program, participants will learn how to create and manage building components such as walls, floors, windows, doors, ceilings, and furniture, while also producing accurate plans, elevations, sections, and 3D visualizations directly from the model. They will explore BIM workflows that enhance collaboration and accuracy, ensuring designs are not only creative but also practical and buildable.
The course emphasizes both the technical and creative aspects of Revit, covering material applications, lighting, and rendering to produce professional presentation outputs for clients and stakeholders. By the end of the course, students will have the skills to use Revit as a design, documentation, and visualization tool, making them industry-ready for modern practices in interior design, architecture, and construction.
Learn the fundamentals of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and how it supports construction management. Explore the Revit interface, set up projects, and create levels, grids, and project standards.
Create and edit architectural elements such as walls, floors, doors, windows, and roofs. Use families to manage construction elements and ensure model accuracy for practical project use.
Get introduced to structural modeling and basic MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) integration. Learn how to coordinate architectural and engineering models effectively.
Generate plans, sections, elevations, and 3D views in Revit. Add detailing, annotations, and compile sheets for construction, tender, or on-site use.
Extract quantities and create a Bill of Quantities (BOQ) directly from BIM models. Perform material take-offs, basic cost estimation, and link schedules with live model updates.
Get started with Microsoft Project by exploring the interface. Learn how to create tasks, milestones, and project timelines, and set up calendars and resources.
Develop schedules with activity dependencies and critical paths. Assign resources and costs, track project progress, and update schedules dynamically.
Export BIM data into Microsoft Project. Link construction elements to project tasks and explore the basics of 4D scheduling (time + model integration).
Apply combined Revit + MS Project workflows in a real-world construction scenario. Coordinate model-based schedules and identify potential clashes, delays, or resource conflicts.
Complete a mini-project by modeling key building elements in Revit, generating construction drawings and BOQ, and developing a project schedule in Microsoft Project. Integrate both tools into a BIM-based construction management plan and present your work.
