From 7 to 11 July 2025, the Institute of Information Technology in Civil Engineering (IIC) – Hanoi University of Civil Engineering delivered a BIM Management – BIM Manager course for engineers of two design consultancies: Dai hoc Xay dung Consulting Co., Ltd. and Vietnam Urban Consulting JSC – VINACITY. The 16-hour course was held at the Institute.
For design consultants, the BIM model is both the design deliverable and the source of the drawing set. The course therefore aimed to develop staff able to set up the BIM process for a project, organise its data and control model quality before handover to the client.

Training programme content
The programme was condensed from the Institute's BIM Manager course and covered four main parts:
- BIM overview: concepts, benefits, main BIM uses and the standards and guidance for BIM implementation in Vietnam.
- Managing the building information model: the BIM execution plan (BEP), selecting BIM uses for each project, the roles of BIM Manager, BIM Coordinator and modeller, exchange and approval workflows, and the common data environment (CDE).
- Model requirements and checking: checking architectural, structural and MEP models; checking drawings and quantities produced from the model.
- Organising the BIM model: splitting models by discipline, linking models and setting up team working.
Reviewing drawings produced from the model
In the model checking session, lecturers worked through a residential building, using a toilet detail sheet generated directly from the Revit model as an example. Participants learned to compare the 3D model with the 2D drawing and to check what a BIM manager needs to review on a sheet: whether dimension strings, spot elevations and spot slopes are taken from model elements, and whether the detail lines and 2D filled regions added to the view follow the organisation's drafting standards.
This approach makes one point clear: when drawings are generated from the model, the quality of the drawing set depends directly on the quality of the model and on the presentation rules agreed at the start of the project.
The Institute sincerely thanks Dai hoc Xay dung Consulting Co., Ltd. and Vietnam Urban Consulting JSC – VINACITY for choosing it as their training partner.
