About the speaker

Virtual City Models (VCMs)

Virtual City Models (VCMs) in their purest form can be simply

described as;

‘Computer generated three-dimensional (3D) geometric model with sufficient and

consistent detail and accuracy as to portray both terrain and urban structures of a city’.

HOW WE DO IT

We are excited by the future of construction. In conjunction with industry, the government published a shared 2025 vision. The vision sets out stretching targets which will only be delivered by thinking differently. We want to build useable and relevant BIM skills of young people within the construction industry. The North East is a hub of BIM expertise – We want this to continue.

WHY WE DO IT

We want to bridge the gap between academic BIM and industry BIM

WHY WE DO IT

We want to increase the employment prospects of young people within the construction industry.

Our aim is to get 100% employment following successful completion of the course.
