About the course

This course covers the documentation discipline behind engineering deliverables: drawing sets and sheet conventions, BIM coordination, schedules and specifications, revision control and the checks that keep a document set consistent.

It is written for the people who produce and review technical documentation — coordinators, engineers and document controllers — and for the managers accountable for what is issued.

Delivered as self-paced modules built around real document sets. On completion, a Certificate of Completion is issued.

What you will be able to do
  • Apply drawing set and sheet conventions consistently
  • Coordinate BIM information between disciplines
  • Manage revisions, supersession and issue status
  • Run document checks that catch errors before issue
  • Keep documentation aligned with the delivered scope
