Purpose of workshop:

Quality, time and cost are the three most important elements in any construction project. Building information that comes timely and accurately in multiple dimensions will facilitate a refined decision making process which can improve the construction quality, time and cost.

The whole process starts with managing the digital model (3D), and is followed by the incorporation of time (4D) and cost (5D). Participants will learn through hands-on practical session experiencing the modelling process, inter-operability, information output and limitations of 5D BIM. The workshop will also introduce 5D BIM as essential research tools including Autodesk Revit and Navisworks Manage.

Biography Bruce Lee Xia Sheng is an Autodesk Certified BIM professional and Certified Revit Architecture professional. After graduating with a Master's degree of Science in Construction Contract Management and a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering (Universiti Teknologi Malaysia), he worked as an engineer with both civil and structure consultancy and contractor firms before entering the teaching profession. During his career in higher education, he has enjoyed various special opportunities to educate students from different professional programmes such as architecture, civil engineering and quantity surveying. This unique experience has enhanced his understanding of the whole construction process from diverse perspectives, inspiring him to explore BIM as a game-changing approach to integrate and transform the construction industry. He is also very passionate about e-Learning, especially Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCS). His MOOCS on Open Learning, i.e. BIM101 and BIM202 have been participated by more than 5000 students and both are highly regarded by practising professionals in the construction industry from all over the world.
