The aim of the course is to provide a basic overview of the architecture of BIM systems and their applications. The exercises will provide students with the modelling solutions and associated commands that enable the creation of BIM systems. The course will specifically cover the publication of plans, the creation of consignments, the possibility of performing impact studies, energy calculations, time and space statements. The course will also introduce the application of BIM systems to various civil engineering tasks in the fields of structural design, infrastructure and geoinformatics. The aim of the course is to provide students with an understanding of the functions, capabilities and applications of BIM systems.
- Knowledge of the basic civil engineering aspects of building information modelling and management approaches.
- Have an overview of the main applications of BIM systems.
- Knowledge of the general design principles of BIM systems architecture.
- Knowledge of the main modelling options for BIM environments.
- Familiarity with the system of notations and notation available in BIM systems.
- Knowledge of the publishing options of BIM systems.
- Knowledge of the reporting options available in BIM systems.
- Knowledge of the analysis functions available in BIM systems.
- Understand the limits and constraints of BIM systems.
- Ability to create civil engineering objects using basic modelling steps.
- Ability to create simple parametric objects.
- Ability to take information from different disciplines and incorporate it into a single model.
- Ability to produce planar design materials.
- Ability to see through BIM modelling tasks at project level.
- Ability to work in a team to solve BIM tasks.
- Strive to produce accurate edits and flawless models.
- Open to learning the possibilities of BIM systems
- Carry out independently the tasks assigned as class work.
- In the case of criticism of his/her work, the teacher accepts well-founded critical comments and incorporates them into his/her further work.

II. Subject requirements
The learning outcomes in 2.2 are assessed on the basis of four homework assignments.
| Evaluation form | Abbreviation | Assessed learning outcomes |
| Homework 1 (partial assessment) - modelling | HW01 | A.1-A.4; B.1-B.4; C.1-C.2; D.1-D.2 |
| Homework 2 (partial assessment) - energetics | HW02 | A.1-A.9; B.1-B.6; C.1-C.2; D.1-D.2 |
| Homework 3 (partial assessment) - modelling | HW03 | A.1-A.9; B.1-B.6; C.1-C.2; D.1-D.2 |
| Homework 4 (partial assessment) documentation | HW04 | A.1-A.9; B.1-B.6; C.1-C.2; D.1-D.2 |
The dates of deadlines of assignments/homework can be found in the detailed course schedule on the subject’s website.
| Abbreviation | Score |
| HW01 | 20% |
| HW02 | 20% |
| HW03 | 30% |
| HW04 | 30% |
| Sum | 100% |
In order to receive a mark, the student must complete all the homework assignments and the lecture to be completed during the semester according to section 3.3. The final grade will be calculated according to the weighting of the marks according to point 3.3 as shown in the table below:
| Grade | Points (P) |
| excellent (5) | 90<=P |
| good (4) | 80<=P<90% |
| satisfactory (3) | 70<=P<80% |
| passed (2) | 50<=P<70% |
| failed (1) | p<50% |
If the homework submitted by the deadlines specified in the detailed timetable does not reach the satisfactory level, the homework may be corrected by the correction date specified in the detailed timetable, subject to payment of a late fee.
| Activity | Hours/semester |
| participation in contact classes | 14×4=56 |
| preparation for the practices | 14×1=14 |
| homework | 110 |
| Sum | 180 |
