Introduction to Building Information Modelling
As Building Information Modeling (BIM) is adopted by more and more companies in the construction industry, its usefulness has expanded beyond the original design phase activities. This course positions BIM in the context of all phases of construction illustrating how to maximize BIM as a tool for the entire construction team. You will see how BIM fits into the construction workflow. It introduces the BIM philosophy in design, bidding, construction, commissioning, delivery, and as-built stages of construction. Course is worth 1 Gold Seal credit, a mark of 100% is required to receive a certificate of completion.

NEW Construction Project Close-Out
Closing out of a construction project, continues to be one of the most challenging stages for any general contractor or subcontractor. The desire to complete the job successfully, while engaging in securing the next project are often times competing interests. This is true of the entire supply chain; top to bottom.
TCIC has taken time to understand this dilemma, engaged professionals from major contracting firms who work in the industry every day to contribute their expertise. TCIC has built an effective e-learning course designed to give a student tools they can deploy in their daily workflow to increase the chances of success at this crucial time of any construction project. In this course, you will experience 4 modules of learning over 4 hours:
Module 1: Introduction: Understanding the key challenges around project close out
Module 2: Pre Construction Phase: Internal hand over, shop drawings, and personnel requirements needed beginning to end
Module 3: Construction Phase: Clearly understanding your contract, be collaborative with your subcontract and supplier team, to ensure success
Module 4: Post Construction Phase: Warranties and total completion to secure final payment and holdback
Outcomes:
Upon completion, participants will be able to identify requirements to meet substantial performance and total performance by definition, understand the contents of Document 100 – a joint consensus paper by the OAA and OGCA surrounding project close-out, commissioning strategies, and of key importance, identifying roadblocks to completion that will result in payment delays.
Who should attend: Project Coordinators, Project Managers, Engineers, Architects, Buyers of Construction/Owners
Testing: A quiz will occur at the end of each Module. A Pass of 75% is required to obtain your certificate of completion.
This course is Gold Seal certified, 1 credit.

NEW Effective Dispute Resolution on Construction Sites
There are many stakeholders in a construction project of any scale, including architects and engineers that design the project, buyers that create the demand for the project, general contractors that manage the construction of the project and sub-contractors that build the project.
The challenge, is to get everyone in this complex supply chain moving in the same direction from start to finish. Inherently there will be conflict. Whether it is conflict in interpreting contract terms, or conflict because information is just not available, negotiation and dispute resolution is inevitable.
In many industries or even politics, a dispute can be solved by taking a break, pausing and solving the challenge in a matter of time. In construction, that pause becomes very challenging as the project risks being delayed. Negotiation of a resolution often is the solution when time is of the essence, and when negotiation fails, a formal dispute resolution process must take place.
This 4 module e-learning course is comprised of the following:
Module 1 - Introduction and the Basics
Module 2 - Negotiation versus Formal Dispute Resolution
Module 3 - Being a Leader versus an Authority
Module 4 - Tools for Negotiating Success
Learning Outcomes:
•Understand the differences between a negotiation versus a formal dispute and what triggers that formality
•Leading your way through a negotiation, by understanding your BATNA
•Discovering your ZOPA
•Negotiating in good faith
•Tools used to build trust
•Understand the difference between active listening versus listening to respond
•Negotiating for a win-win, saving relationships
Who should attend: Project Coordinators, Project Managers, Engineers, Architects and Contract Administrators
This course is Gold Seal certified, 1 credit.
