Introduction

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has evolved beyond 3D modeling into a data-driven, automation-first digital construction ecosystem. With increasing demand for parametric design, computational workflows, and construction digitization, professionals are shifting toward advanced BIM automation tools such as Autodesk Revit + Dynamo + Python scripting. This training course is designed to equip learners with cutting-edge skills in BIM automation, generative design, and computational workflows, enabling faster project delivery, improved accuracy, and reduced manual workload.

BIM Automation using Dynamo Training Course focuses on transforming traditional BIM practices into intelligent, rule-based systems. Participants will learn how to automate repetitive modeling tasks, manage large datasets, integrate external data sources, and optimize building design processes using visual programming and algorithmic modeling techniques. The course emphasizes real-world applications in architecture, structural engineering, MEP coordination, and construction management using industry-standard workflows aligned with ISO 19650 BIM standards, digital twins, and smart construction technologies.
