Architectural Building Information Modeling (BIM) I

Foundational Standards

Incorporate safety procedures in handling, operating, and maintaining tools and machinery; handling materials; utilizing personal protective equipment; maintaining a safe work area; and handling hazardous materials and forces.

Demonstrate effective workplace and employability skills, including communication, awareness of diversity, positive work ethic, problem-solving, time management, and teamwork.

Explore the range of careers available in the field and investigate their educational requirements, and demonstrate job-seeking skills including resume-writing and interviewing.

Advocate and practice safe, legal, responsible, and ethical use of information and technology tools specific to the industry pathway.

Participate in a Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) to increase knowledge and skills and to enhance leadership and teamwork.

Design Processes

Describe the five phases of a design project (schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding, and construction administration).

Fundamentals

Compare and contrast two-dimensional CAD and three-dimensional BIM computer applications.

Identify construction components on two-dimensional drawings.

Identify dimensional attributes of components on two-dimensional drawings.

Residential Construction BIM

Using the information from a two-dimensional drawing, create a three-dimensional residential model including views of windows and doors, columns, decks, steps, and railings; elevation level markers; symbols, dimensions, labeling notation, and typical notes.

Modify the standard component library to meet the requirements of the specific project.

Sections, Details, and Schedules

Create longitudinal and crosswise building section views for a design project using three-dimensional modeling software.

Create typical wall sections and construction details for a design project, using three-dimensional modeling software.

Create schedules to identify material for a single-story residential BIM project.

Residential BIM Site Plan

Use architectural three-dimensional modeling software to create a residential site plan including site notes, symbols, and dimensions for a given lot, considering building dimensions, lot boundaries, topography, and access to adjoining streets.

Identify types of site plans, explain terms, and summarize the information included in each type.

BIM Rendering and Title Sheet

Create a single- or multiple-perspective three-dimensional rendering of a design project incorporating site contours, spot levels, and landscaping elements, using three-dimensional modeling software.

Create a title sheet which includes the project rendering, sheet index, and project square footage.

Construction Set Printing

Set up and print construction documents to scale in hard copy and PDF format, including border, sheets, title block, and required views.
