Course Overview
This programme aimed at construction professionals, is designed to provide learners with key knowledge and insights necessary for the successful adoption of the International Construction Measurement Standard, ICMS. Learners will be provided with key insights into the standard, with relevance to ARM4 and other measurement standards all enabled by Building Information Modelling,
ICMS3 has introduced Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA) as a fundamental component of construction measurement. Accurate generation of carbon assessments remains a challenging domain. This will provide learners with solid foundation of the principles of WLCA, as well as the requirements, rules and techniques necessary for the ICMS implementation.
