Synchro 4D - Construction Management

Duration: 20 hours

Teaching Methodology: Hands on

Course Schedule: Schedule

Fees: $400

Course Mode: Blended – Face-to-face or online via Zoom

DESCRIPTION

This course is about 4D BIM. By 4D BIM, we mean adding the time element to the 3D model – scheduling. You will learn to use Synchro to import models from Revit and other software, create new tasks, link the 3D objects to tasks, add equipment, generate schedules, animate construction simulations, analyze and optimize project tracks, and create reports.

PREREQUISITES

Experience with planning projects using MS Excel.
