    How LSBU embedded Plannerly into their construction curriculum

    London South Bank University · MSc education

    Dr. Zulfikar Adamu integrated Plannerly certification into MSc coursework, achieving 100% student completion in 1-2 days. The module grew from an elective to a mandatory core across two programmes with 70+ students per cohort.

    If every university that teaches construction introduces Plannerly, in three to four years you have an army of graduates who know how to implement ISO 19650 properly.

    Scaling national BIM education

    Croatia · National education initiative

    Without waiting for a government mandate, built a national BIM education program using Plannerly as the central hub for templates, learning, and live project workflows.

    We didn't wait for a mandate. We just started with education, templates, and real projects.

    Ece Mülazımoğlu · Career story

    Ece used Plannerly training to build practical confidence in Revit, ISO 19650, BIM Execution Plans, and information management workflows, turning an early architecture role into a clearer BIM and digital construction path.

    At the end of that certification, I felt like I had some confidence in me to go for this path.

What professors and students say about teaching with Plannerly

  • 5 out of 5

    Many software companies get this wrong. They don't create content or videos. You can't ask me to bring your tool into my curriculum when there's nothing for students to learn from. Plannerly has all of that.

    Brilliant guide for how to set up and work with ISO 19650 standards. Can't wait to implement this.

    Thanks to Plannerly's user-friendly interface, my students understand better the link between information requirements and the scope of a BIM Execution Plan. A great platform to collaborate between teams!
    Danny MurguíaProfessor · Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú

    Brilliant! Universities are not providing real world training for industry tools, graduates are sorely lacking in knowledge ... Kudos to you Clive!!
    Gary CowanHead of Digital Construction VDC/BIM · Kane Group

  • 5 out of 5

    There is some difficulty in synthesizing and defining all the parameters inherent to the implementation of a BIM methodology, and Plannerly allows you to do it in a simple and efficient way. I have made use of it in my professional life, but also in academic terms, presenting the program to the trainees, who in turn have also given excellent feedback!

    It's a fantastic tool that has greatly improved our operations in Niqat Global and for all students. ... 1 year as a student and another one as an instructor and I'm really learning everyday a new skill because of you guys

    This was the second BIM Management training using the Plannerly ... tool which is without a doubt, the best option for the preparation of BIM documents due to the ease of filling in the different templates available for BEP, OIR, EIR, RACI Matrix, meetings ...
