Building Information Modelling (BIM) and related 3D design software has increasingly become a crucial tool in the construction, engineering and other infrastructure industries and will only continue to grow as technology develops. This one-day intensive course will introduce you to the fundamentals of Navisworks and equip you with the knowledge to integrate the models. The course will demonstrate how the programme can be used to assist Clients and Contracting Authorities better understand and assess project models. This course combines theoretical knowledge with practical exercises to ensure participants gain hands-on experience with the software.

You will get an opportunity to follow along with the tutor, through interactive sessions and troubleshooting while using Navisworks. You will also be able to engage in an informative Q & A with our course tutor, as well as other professionals in your field. You will receive highly informative course notes, which you can refer back to at any time.
