What will I learn?

Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Integrated Project Delivery represent the future of the construction industry.

Developed in response to the challenge of lost productivity, budget blow-outs, time over-runs and waste that plagued major construction projects, IPD is a way of managing projects so that every member of the building team – owner, architect, contractors, engineers, fabricators, and subcontractors – work collaboratively throughout the construction process.

The sharing of information between these team members is made easier by the growing use of BIM – a process of creating and managing information on a construction project whereby every aspect of the build asset has a digital description that becomes part of the ‘model’.

Three of Australia’s state governments have committed to spending $215 billion on infrastructure within a BIM framework before the end of the decade. Private sector organisations are also now specifying that their medium and large construction projects should be delivered using BIM, Lean Construction and IPD.

Bond’s Master of Building Information Modelling and Integrated Project Delivery is a cutting-edge program which has been designed in close collaboration with industry to prepare graduates for leadership roles in consultancies, client organisations and contracting organisations.

The program components align with the frameworks and standards of the industry’s leading professional bodies in Australia, the UK and the USA.

Studying a full-time study load, the Master’s qualification can be completed in just one year with Bond’s accelerated trimester schedule.

This innovative program has been designed in strong collaboration with industry to assist construction and other built environment professionals to upskill in order to comply with the stringent practice requirements being demanded by government and knowledgeable private sector clients regarding the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM), Lean Construction Practice (Lean) and Integrated Project delivery (IPD) in optimised construction project delivery.

The Master of Building Information Modelling and Integrated Project Delivery program prepares students for advanced involvement as relevant BIM/Lean/IPD Managers in their work environment, for the benefit of projects and their stakeholders.

The program is delivered in intensive mode and has the objective of preparing industry professionals to serve as BIM/Lean/IPD managers. While the program does cover various BIM-related technologies, it does not prepare students to be specialist technicians in the niche areas of the technologies covered by the curriculum. The program includes a capstone subject (40 credit points) in which students work on a realistic BIM/Lean/IPD project that requires application analysis and synthesis of complex ‘project’ data. Limited placement opportunities may be available based on meeting required performance criteria.

The program components align with the BIM Framework of building SMART Australasia, the open standards of building SMART International, the principles espoused by the Lean Construction Institutes of Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and internationally recognised principles of IPD.
