Shaping the Future of Design and Construction
At Sanuk College of Arts and Design (SCAAD), we believe in preparing our students for the ever-changing demands of the design and construction industry. With the growing adoption of digital technologies in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), we proudly introduce our Building Information Modeling (BIM) Course.
BIM is more than just software—it is a revolutionary process that uses intelligent 3D models to help professionals design, build, and manage buildings and infrastructure with greater efficiency. From concept to demolition, BIM supports every stage of the building lifecycle, making it a must-have skill for today’s design and construction professionals.
What is BIM?
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of creating and managing digital representations of the physical and functional aspects of buildings and infrastructure. Unlike traditional 2D drafting, BIM provides a collaborative platform where architects, engineers, interior designers, and contractors can work together on the same digital model.
With BIM, professionals can:
- Visualize projects in 3D before construction begins
- Reduce errors and reworks on-site
- Improve cost estimation and resource planning
- Enhance collaboration between different disciplines
- Manage the building throughout its lifecycle
