EDIH’s Building Information Modeling course with AutoDesk Revit starts on February 17

The European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) course “BIM with AutoDesk Revit – Level 1” starts on February 17 in our training room and will last a total of 10 days or 40 hours. The training is face-to-face, and its main goal is to improve the qualifications of construction specialists by acquiring skills for using building information modeling with AutoDesk Revit in the investment process.
The course provides best practices for an integrated BIM workflow in Autodesk Revit and includes a brief introduction to the main processes, working methods, types of elements and tools. The training provides basic knowledge that will help to further improve the work with BIM. The course is intended for architects, civil engineers, plumbing and HVAC engineers – designers with an entry-level knowledge of Autodesk Revit, who have basic skills in working with the program.
The training courses related to the use of BIM capabilities (more popularly known by its English abbreviation BIM for building information modeling) are the largest in number – 20 in total, in the EDIH service catalog. In practice, BIM covers the entire life cycle of buildings – from design, through construction management and operation to eventual demolition and waste recovery. And in this sense, building information modeling is a key element not only for the digitalization of the industry, but also for the development of the circular economy in Bulgaria. Specialized BIM training courses provide knowledge and skills for working with specific software for managing the entire construction and investment process in construction.

The course “BIM with AutoDesk Revit – Level 1” includes a total of 14 learning modules, evenly distributed as hours between February 17 and 28. The lectures include a theoretical and practical part, as well as sharing specific good examples of implementation from practice

The course “BIM Applications in Construction Waste Management and Ensuring Circularity in Construction” started on February 6

The 2-day course “BIM Applications in Construction Waste Management and Circularity in Construction” of the European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) in the construction sector begins on February 6. Due to the great interest from construction companies, the training will be held in a hybrid format – in the EDIH training room and online, with a maximum number of participants of 30.
They will learn about the digitalization of the management and control of the activities of collection, transportation and treatment of construction waste (CW), the management of the requirements for the use of recycled construction materials in construction, as well as the digitalization of CW management in the construction and demolition process. The aim is to improve the prevention and control of air, water and soil pollution through digitalization, as well as to limit the risk to human health and the environment resulting from the collection, treatment and transportation of CW, and to facilitate the processes of recycling and utilization of CW to achieve the objectives of the Waste Management Act (WMA).
The BIM dimension, 9D, which is part of the course, focuses on lean construction. It aims to optimize construction processes and reduce waste through the use of BIM. Lean construction involves a shift in focus from maximizing productivity to minimizing waste.

Higher education in the field of construction and investment design is a mandatory minimum requirement for participants in the training. It is aimed at experts who are involved in construction and investment design, project management, consulting and supervision activities or administration. The course “BIM Applications in Construction Waste Management and Ensuring Circularity in Construction” includes a total of 7 training modules on 9D BIM.

EDIH plans 3 new courses on the use of drones in construction

The European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) Construction course on drones in construction has become one of our most popular trainings. Due to the great interest from architects, civil engineers and designers, our hub is planning to hold three more three-day courses on “UAV Surveying, Surveying and Monitoring”, which will be held in Varna and Sofia.
In the capital, the training will take place from February 12 to 14, and you can register for it HERE. The other two courses are in Varna from March 18 to 21. There are currently spaces available for the second training in Varna, which is planned for March 18, 20 and 21, and registration for it is HERE.
Representatives of various construction companies have already attended the first course on the use of drones, which was a great success in the second half of October and was led by Eng. Yordan Hristev, Director of “Geodesy and Mine Surveying” at Geostroy – a company co-founder of EDIH in the construction sector. For three days, owners and employees of small and medium-sized companies, architects and designers had the opportunity to learn about the use of drones in the implementation of projects in various construction areas, and after completing it, they gave high marks for the knowledge gained.
The theoretical part of the training, which started on February 12 in Sofia, will be held in the EDIH training hall, and the practical part will be on site – at the metro station next to the “Obelya” railway station with the tunnel connection to the “Obelya” metro depot.
The course covers many topics related to the possibilities of using drones in construction, learning how to create a 3D model for feasibility study, design and preparation of quantitative calculations. It is aimed at architects, civil engineers, designers and technicians, and the minimum educational level for participants is secondary technical education.
Training on the use of drones in construction takes place in three stages over three days.
The first stage includes the acquisition of a theoretical part – familiarization with the capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles in the construction industry, as well as information about the control of the drones themselves. Participants will learn about the requirements for pilots and the specifics of different models of aircraft. They will have the opportunity to master the Pix4Dcapture/DJI Pilot 2 software product, which is used for the purposes of preparing a flight plan. The course participants will get acquainted with and consider the possibilities and features of creating a preliminary flight plan with unmanned aerial vehicles.
The second stage of the training includes a practical part – flying over and photographing a pre-selected object for the purpose of examining and creating a 3D model.
The third stage is the processing of the captured material. Participants will be introduced to the software product Pix4Dmapper and auxiliary programs for processing the captured material. Finally, a review and analysis of the obtained results will be made.
