2-Day Practical Course on Safety Data Analytics to Improve Workplace Safety & Health Performance: Data Analytics is one of the emerging frontier technologies that our workforce needs training in to acquire skills to analyse available data. Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) works involve enormous data in the form of inspection reports, incident reports, safety behaviors indicators, procurement data, etc., that can be analysed with suitable data analytics tools to arrive at outcomes that can be used to improve work productivity and WSH performance at workplaces. Safety analytics can predict and prevent workplace safety incidents, thus saving lives, money and organisations reputation which goes beyond the conventional dashboards and safety reports of past incidents or accidents.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become one of the most exciting developments in the building and construction industry in recent years. As an integrated design and documentation tool used to enhance communication and collaboration among all the project stakeholders, BIM has already begun changing the way architects, engineers, contractors and building owners work together. With strategic implementation, BIM will significantly improve the design and construction process through more integrated project coordination. BIM has also been identified as one of the key technologies to be adopted under BCAs S$250-million Construction Productivity and Capability Fund (CPCF) to help the local construction industry improve productivity and enhance its capability.The Specialist Diploma in Building Information Modeling (BIM) aims to impart in-depth knowledge on BIM fundamentals and develop strategic skills for BIM project planning and implementation. It will focus on BIM applications for effective design analysis, productive design and construction coordination and holistic facility management. BIM standards and guidelines as well as BIM project case studies will also be included in this course.Upon graduation, participants can look forward to career opportunities as BIM Project Coordinators, BIM Modelers/Operators, BIM Consultants/ Specialists, and BIM Managers.

Participants of the Certification Course for Green Mark Manager will gain an in-depth understanding of BCAs environmental sustainability legislative framework, underlying performance standards and BCA Green Mark assessment systems, including the revised BCA Green Mark Criteria For New Non-Residential Buildings Green Mark For Non-Residential Buildings: 2015 (GM NRB: 2015). Focus will be placed on green building design guidelines and technologies, where the participants will learn the methods of identifying, evaluating and selecting cost effective solutions towards a more holistic green building performance. On top of that, the course will also touch on the integration of passive and active building design, as well as cooperation between disciplines in the design stage so as to optimise building design. It aims to practically empower industry professionals to take leadership in competently guiding projects to excel in the Green Mark criteria, and ultimately push the frontiers for greener buildings.

Lifting plan is a set of plans which is created for use in any crane lifting operations and it consists of all the important information that must be considered in a lifting operation thus ensuring that the lifting operation is carried out safely. It aims to facilitate consensus amongst all relevant stakeholders including the lifting crew for a safe outcome. Under the WSH legal requirements, all lifting operations shall be accompanied by a lifting plan. This BCA Academys practical course will enable construction site personnel to prepare a proper lifting plan for crane lifting operations and implement the lifting plan in a crane lifting activity.

Having buildings completed and handed over to the owner on time is contractually important. Stakeholders should strive for minimum deviations from the approved building plans and Written Permission to avoid any delay during the TOP/CSC application. The course aims to equip participants with the knowledge on: a) procedure in the application for TOP/CSC b) technical and administrative requirements in connection with TOP/CSC application and c) common non-compliance and trends in the building works that are found during the TOP/CSC inspection.

Workplace Safety and Health (Risk Management) Regulations require stakeholders such as employers, self-employed persons and principals to have the responsibility of identifying safety and health hazards at the workplace and taking appropriate actions to eliminate the hazards or mitigate the risks associated with the hazards. Risk assessment and management is the key to reduce the risks at source.Participant who attends this course will have an in-depth understanding and knowledge on the concepts and methodologies of risk assessment and management. This course will also provide hands-on experience in the risk assessment for construction activities and development of risk management implementation plan.

Granite, Marble and Ceramic tilling are common finishes in building work. The Good Industry Practices Marble and Granite Finishes and Good Industry Practices Ceramic Tiling were developed to share with the industry good work practices adopted by practitioners and contractors who have consistently delivered high quality work, providing simple and practical tips to assist designers in selecting tiles and contractors in achieving high quality workmanship.This course highlights the good practices as introduced in the two guidebooks.

With the increase demand for construction professionals in the Built Environment industry, you and your peers must be really keen to join, but also have questions and doubts that you wish someone professional can give you an answer. You need to join us for our upcoming Course Preview happening this February 2019.WHY CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT?Every construction project combines a variety of complex challenges. Managing a project requires a combination of technical understanding of construction processes and resource management, as well as managing their legal and financial aspects.WHY STUDY WITH US?The Bachelor of Construction Management (Building)(Honours) will equip you with the skills and knowledge to manage complexities in construction projects both in Singapore and across the world. The programme incorporates substantial Building Information Modelling (BIM) teaching and projects which offer a niche specialty beyond the construction management discipline.
