BIMcert Handbook (Austrian Edition): Basic Knowledge openBIM — 2021

Abstract

With the “Professional Certification« programme” (“Foundation” and “Practitioner”), buildingSMART offers an internationally comparable quality standard for the certification of openBIM knowledge. BIMcert provides the training developed in Austria for this certification. The “Practitioner” certification in Austria is divided into BIM Coordination (in Austria until 2021: Level B) and BIM Management (in Austria until 2021: Level C). This book is dedicated to the functional training of openBIM and describes all subject areas for these certification levels. It starts with an overview of digitalisation basics and the most important terms of openBIM. This forms the basis for the “Foundation” certification (in Austria until 2021: Level A). Those interested in theory as well as BIM practitioners will then receive a compact and in-depth insight of IFC, MVD, IDM, BCF, CDE, LOD, and BIM standardisation. Armed with this knowledge, BIM practitioners will find the necessary functional knowledge in the chapter “BIM project implementation” in order to then be certified at BIMcert Level B and Level C (Practitioner BIM Coordination und BIM Management, respectively).
