Novatr’s BIM Course Structure
Novatr’s BIM Professional Course is designed to reflect the real-world demands of the AEC industry. It offers a comprehensive, end-to-end curriculum that blends theoretical concepts with hands-on application to ensure learners graduate not just with knowledge but with project-ready skills.
Novatr offers three specialised courses for BIM exclusively for Architects, Civil Engineers, and MEP Engineers, respectively.
1. Course Modules at a Glance
The course is divided into three modules and a six-week-long capstone project, each strategically crafted to build upon the last, from foundational BIM literacy to advanced project execution.
2. Software Training That’s Context-Driven
Instead of standalone tutorials, software is taught within real use cases, enabling students to understand not just the “how” but the “why” of each tool. Tools covered include:
- Autodesk Revit
- Autodesk Navisworks
- Dynamo
3. Industry Applications That Make You Job-Ready
One gets to learn to:
- Develop BIM models
- Deliver coordinated architectural documentation.
- Use clash detection tools for real-world project coordination.
- Build workflows that are aligned with top firms and global BIM mandates.
This structure ensures learners don’t just learn BIM, but they live it, every step of the way.
Foundational BIM Concepts Covered in the Course
Before diving into tools or project execution, Novatr’s course lays a strong conceptual foundation, the kind that transforms learners from tool users into BIM professionals. These core concepts ensure learners truly grasp the why behind every workflow.
Novatr clears up one of the biggest misunderstandings about BIM by introducing it as a methodology that facilitates collaboration, decision-making, and data-driven design throughout a building’s lifecycle.
Collaboration in a Multi-Stakeholder Environment
In modern AEC projects, no one works alone. That’s why Novatr puts a strong focus on interdisciplinary collaboration. Students gain experience in:
- Clash detection and issue management
- Communication workflows with engineers and consultants
- Using collaborative platforms like BIMcollab and Autodesk Construction Cloud

Advanced BIM Applications Taught in the BIM Course
Novatr’s BIM Courses isn’t just about mastering the basics; it’s designed to help learners unlock the true potential of BIM in advanced architectural practice. From smart coordination to data-driven decision-making, the course dives into cutting-edge applications used in top firms worldwide.
Model-Based Project Coordination
Learners are trained in modelling, where multiple disciplines integrate their models into a single source of truth. This ensures seamless coordination across architecture, structure, and MEP. With tools like Navisworks, students learn to:
- Perform clash detection and resolve conflicts
- Manage issues across stakeholder models.
- Streamline communication in large teams.
Integrated Delivery Using Industry Tools
All advanced applications are taught in context, not as standalone skills. Students learn how to integrate multiple tools into one cohesive BIM workflow, simulating real-world studio environments where architects collaborate with engineers, contractors, and clients.
Software Training: Revit, Navisworks, Dynamo & More
A key strength of Novatr’s BIM Professional Course is its in-depth, context-driven software training. Rather than isolated tutorials, each tool is taught as part of a broader workflow, mirroring how real-world studios operate.
1. Autodesk Revit – The Backbone of BIM Modelling
Revit is taught from the ground up, with a focus on model accuracy, LOD standards, and architectural detailing. Students learn to:
- Build parametric BIM models
- Create families and reusable components.
- Extract drawings and documentation.
- Structure models for collaboration and coordination
2. Navisworks – Model Coordination & Clash Detection
Used extensively in multi-disciplinary projects, Navisworks training covers:
- Combining architectural, structural, and MEP models
- Running clash detection tests
- Managing and tracking design issues
3. Dynamo – Automating and Optimising Workflows
With Dynamo, students unlock computational design and workflow automation. The course covers:
- Visual scripting fundamentals
- Automating repetitive modelling tasks
- Parametric logic for responsive designs
Project-Based Learning Approach: Learn by Doing
Novatr’s BIM Professional Course is built around a project-based learning model because mastering BIM isn’t about passive learning, it’s about actively applying skills in real scenarios. From day one, learners step into the role of a BIM architect working on industry-aligned projects.
1. Assignments That Simulate Studio Work
Each module includes hands-on assignments that mirror the responsibilities of a BIM professional. Students might:
- Develop models based on a given brief
- Extract construction documentation sets
Every assignment feeds into the creation of a full-scale BIM project, a capstone portfolio piece that showcases the learner’s complete BIM skillset.
2. Capstone Project: The Ultimate Test
The course culminates in a Capstone Project that simulates the real-life lifecycle of a BIM-based project. From concept to coordination, students:
- Execute a full design using BIM workflows
- Integrate Revit, Navisworks, and other tools.
- Present their work like professionals do — with documentation, visualisations, and data-driven reports.
This hands-on approach ensures learners graduate with more than knowledge, but they also leave with experience.
Industry Mentorship & Masterclasses
One of the most powerful aspects of Novatr’s BIM Professional Course is the opportunity to learn directly from mentors and industry experts who live and breathe BIM every day. These mentors and industry guides aren’t just instructors, they’re practising professionals from globally renowned architecture and construction firms with experience ranging from 10+ to 5+ years, respectively.
This connection to the industry ensures that Novatr students are not only technically strong but also career-ready, with the confidence to step into high-performance teams across the world.
Career Readiness
Novatr’s BIM Professional Courses is more than just an educational experience, it’s a launchpad for careers in the AEC industry. Every part of the course is designed to help learners not only master BIM but also step confidently into BIM-centric roles at top firms.
Portfolio Development That Tells a Story
Students graduate with a comprehensive BIM portfolio built through their capstone project and assignments. Unlike generic portfolios, this one is:
- Rooted in real-world workflows
- Backed by documentation, 3D visuals, and data-driven insights
- Reviewed and refined with feedback from mentors
This gives learners a tangible way to demonstrate their BIM proficiency to employers.
Understanding Job Roles & Market Expectations
Through live sessions, masterclasses, and mentor feedback, students gain insights into:
- What different BIM job roles entail (Modeler, Coordinator, Manager)
- The skills and tools in demand across firms globally
- How to align their experience with emerging BIM career paths
Student Success Stories & Testimonials
What truly sets Novatr apart is the impact it creates on learners' careers. From landing roles at top AEC firms to confidently transitioning into BIM-focused jobs, students have seen real, tangible results after completing the BIM Professional Course.
Proof That the Curriculum Works
Student feedback consistently highlights:
- The clarity and depth of the curriculum
- The practical, hands-on nature of assignments
- The value of mentorship from real-world professionals
