The programme will create a publically shared rubric built on VINCI best practices for the industry to use to upskill their job families in BIM. This is in response to the ambitious 2025 Construction Strategy which aims to achieve 33% reductions in costs and a 50% increase in efficiency through full BIM integration.

After the project, 14 short-duration e-learning modules will be freely available to use by industry. BIM ambassadors will be upskilled to champion the use of BIM in construction roles and promote the modules. A BIM framework will be developed that will go on to inform CITB activity in identifying and standardising digital competencies.

The project will provide training opportunities to construction employers for Civil Engineering Operatives and Engineers.  

The framework will be delivered to individuals who will also be undertaking the NVQ Level 2 diploma in construction operation (out of project scope). The key element is to streamline the Civils offer providing operatives with a comprehensive range of skills which have been identified by industry.
