This subject focuses on the main strategies for building information modelling specialized, taking into account the specific characteristics of this discipline, as well as the requirements of the people involved. This subject is taught using Autodesk Revit.

The content is as follows:

• Introduction to BIM in the context of building.
• Characteristics of the BIM business model in building.
• Introduction to Revit.
• Start of the project.
• Basic construction elements.
• Complex construction elements.
• Special Modelling strategies.
• Data management.
• Creation of families.
• Documentation.
• Interoperability through the IFC format.
• Coordination with other disciplines.

Since BIM is a multidisciplinary activity, what the models represent must be coordinated on a multidisciplinary basis.

This subject deals with the strategic, technical and human aspects that enable this to happen.

The content is as follows:

• Alignment of Objectives.
• BIM Execution Planning.
• BIM for Facility and Asset Management.
• Multidisciplinary coordination.
• Use of Common Data Environments.
• Standards.
• Quality Control.
• The Human Factor.
• Individual talents and creating balanced teams.
• Agile Project Management.

All the subjects in this programme converge in this multidisciplinary subject which looks at BIM from the point of view of the construction life cycle. A multidisciplinary workshop is organised that takes up a large proportion of the course. In it, students will undertake a real project as a team, putting into practice everything they have learned in a collaborative environment. In this workshop, students will learn to coordinate with each other to carry out a project that starts with a statement with an open solution. In other words, they will not only put their instrumental knowledge into practice, but also their strategic, technical and human knowledge, establishing a new way of working which is more efficient and sustainable.

This activity is divided into two parts:

• The first part deals with the conceptualisation of the project and the design of the general solution.
• The second part deals with constructively defining the design, planning the work and preparing the model for the operations and maintenance phase.

Part 1. Draft Project and Basic Project

During the first part, each team will define the general concept of the solution, and design the solution that it considers most appropriate from a multidisciplinary point of view. The challenge lies in simultaneously making progress, and finding a way to contribute to the overall solution from the outset. Two of the people involved in the projects are the Promoter and the final Operator, in roles adopted by master's degree teaching staff. Students thereby learn to negotiate the scope of the assignment and the final solution with the client, which in this workshop is divided between those making the investment and those exploiting the investment.

From the point of view of specialisation, this subject enables students to study in depth the areas that most interest them in their specialist field, while taking into account cross-disciplinary aspects, such as cost control and optimisation of the Operation and Maintenance phase.

While carrying out their project, students will be tutored and accompanied in class by the teaching staff who have taught them the previous subjects, helping them to apply everything they have learned in a real and open case.

Part 2. Construction and Operations and Maintenance Project

During the second part, what students have learned in the BIM subjects for Pre-Construction, Operations and Maintenance in each specialist field will be applied in the context of the project that was begun in the first part of the project.

As in the previous case, the activity is carried out on a multidisciplinary basis, so that each student will apply what they have learned in the project from the perspective of the knowledge areas they want to study in more depth. Their work will be tutored and accompanied by the same teachers who provided their prior instrumental training.

BIM involves a change in the business model in which this methodology is implemented. This means that training is necessary to be able to understand the new rules of the game. Not only does the product that is delivered to the customer change, but also the resources needed and the way it is contracted.

It is also necessary to convey the added value that is being offered to the client, since the success of most projects in which BIM is implemented depends on this ability. To do so, it is necessary to learn how to interview a client, in order to determine what they really need and consider valuable.

Finally, it is necessary to learn how to implement innovation both at the organization and project level. This means learning to change both organizational structures and habits in human and contractual relationships.

The content is as follows:

• Commercial communication.
• Lean Start-Up.
• Prototypes.
• Case studies.
• BIM implementation in projects.
• BIM implementation in organisation.

The Master's degree programme completes the training process with this Master's Degree Final Project. The aim is for students to find their own professional path while learning to develop new business ideas.

BIM opens up a wide range of possibilities, in which everyone has the opportunity to develop the services with which they feel most comfortable and capable. Students will also find out which opportunities provide a response to the real needs of the market. They will therefore develop an entrepreneurial attitude that will accompany them throughout their lives.

The valuable professionals of the present and of the future are those who provide value and innovation in their professional development, regardless of the position they occupy. The labour market demands excellent candidates who are able to think judiciously, based on arguments and foundations. People capable of adapting to constantly changing environments are also highly valued.

For this reason, we incorporate the Lean Start-up methodology in our programme, for students to learn to develop a new service or improve an existing one so that a real customer can assess their suitability.

This enables students to cover the subject that interests them most based around BIM, enabling them to grow beyond the scope of the programme itself.

The contents of the practical session are as follows:

• Description of the Idea.
• Customer Fit.
• Interviews and results.
• Unique Value Proposition.
• Prototypes produced.
• Landing Page.
• Feedback obtained.
• Lessons learned.
