This course prepares those creating and managing the production and delivery of COBie data to understand the requirement and expected benefits resulting from real-time handover data and the scope and organization of a COBie deliverable.
This course prepares those integrating COBie production into design and construction workflows, customizing deliverable requirements, COBie best-practices, and quality control. This three-course series covers COBie for design, construction, and quality control. This course is a COBie Certified Professional Registered Training Provider.
Profitable COBie implementation requires standard operating procedures across the enterprise. Students create a COBie implementation plan covering the role of your employees, contract partners and stakeholders, process, and technology. Use the resulting COBie ScoreCard(TM) to link the plan to fiscal objectives.
This course introduces the Construction-Operations Building information exchange (COBie) standard. It reviews current construction handover practices, explains why adding COBie requirements to traditional handover practice adds cost without additional value and identifies where COBie data is already produced during design and construction.
This course will provide users of Autodesk Revit a step-by-step guide to the production of COBie data as part of their design process. Configuration files created during this course may be used by senior BIM Technicians, BIM Managers, BIM Coordinators, and BIM Information Managers to develop or improve BIM Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for themselves and their business partners.
Live webcasts offer a mix of lecture and hands-on problem solving to jumpstart your COBie activities. These courses can be organized in one- or three-day sessions, based on your needs. Held during US business hours, these live courses are arranged in advance to coordinate scope and stakeholder calendars.
