• Resumen

  • Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology is now globally accepted as a means of creating a knowledge-basedconstruction industry that uses 3D (or more) visualization and simulation techniques to improve business efficiency.However, developing South Asian countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines have yet to introduce BIMtechnology, largely due to a lack of appropriately trained professionals. Many countries need to develop the necessaryenvironment and curriculum to teach BIM-related knowledge and skills and thus produce skilled constructionprofessionals capable of implementing this technology. Using a systematic course approach, we developed a BIMcourse that was specifically designed to address the needs of both those entering the profession and construction companiesin developing countries. In addition to understanding the applicability of BIM for construction projects, newly qualifiedprofessionals will appreciate the advantages and prospects of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) systems and BIMtechnology, as well as the importance of cooperation. The new course will support the development of accomplishedprofessionals with the BIM skills needed by construction companies in today’s competitive market.
