Twelve lessons. One corridor. Real models.
Twelve free lessons by e-mail, two from each of the six workshops of the IFC Infrastructure Masterclass, one every two days. Each lesson gives you the key ideas, a real example from our IFC 4.3 corridor and one thing to try yourself with free tools.
01 · The standardsBIM for infrastructure
Horizontal is not vertical: alignment, map and terrain instead of storeys and a plot. Who writes the rules, and which standard does which job.
Remember: data outlives software. A bridge lives 100 years.
02 · The modelInfrastructure modelling
Models, not drawings. Twelve models, one family, one map: from the terrain and the ground to every discipline.
Remember: terrain and ground first. Every volume and every cost depends on them.
03 · The useModel use cases
Sixteen jobs, four phases, from the first survey to the last inspection. One model cannot be perfect for every job.
Remember: the site reads numbers. Station, volume, concrete, date, tolerance.
04 · The objectsIFC 4.3 fundamentals
An IFC file is plain text. Read one line like a sentence, find the right class and PredefinedType, follow the links.
Remember: meaning lives in the links. 18 relations around one pier.
05 · The dataCore concepts of IFC 4.3
Two lines put the model on the map. Where properties, quantities, materials and codes belong, so they survive the export.
Remember: check before you send. Syntax, schema, rules, practice.
06 · The agentAI agents for openBIM
Same brain, but the agent has hands: it reads IFC, writes IDS rules, runs the checks and builds small tools in your folder.
Remember: AI drafts. openBIM checks. You decide.
One corridor. Twelve IFC 4.3 files.
Bridge, road, railway, tunnel, river, power line and utilities on one map, each in its own IFC 4.3 file. Every example in The Alignment comes from here.
Clients already ask for IFC 4.3.
IFC 4.3 is an ISO standard (ISO 16739-1:2024) with 876 classes, most of the new ones for infrastructure. Road, rail and bridge owners are writing it into their requirements.

Taught live. Tested in real projects.
“The most valuable thing I gained was finally understanding the structure of an IFC 4.3 file. It was a topic I had struggled with for some time, and the course helped me connect all the pieces.”
“One of the best openBIM trainings I have received. It was focused on infrastructure and linear projects rather than buildings, with examples clearly based on railway and road models.”
“This course helped me see IFC beyond a file exchange format. It has given me a clear methodology for applying openBIM in our infrastructure projects in Indonesia.”

IFC Infrastructure Masterclass. Edition 3 starts in Q1 2027.
The Alignment gives you the foundations for free. Edition 3 of the IFC Infrastructure Masterclass goes deeper, live and in a new format, built around four things:
- 01Introduction to Civil InfrastructureWhich standards govern infrastructure data, and why building-BIM habits break on a road.
- 02Practical Infrastructure ModellingModels useful beyond geometry: classifications, properties, materials, statuses.
- 03Model Use CasesCoordination, quantities, earthworks, machine control, handover to asset management.
- 04IFC 4.3 FundamentalsIfcAlignment, IfcRoad, IfcBridge, IfcRailway and the spatial structure.
- 05Core Concepts of IFC 4.3Georeferencing, property and quantity sets, materials, classifications and bSDD.
- 06The Full openBIM WorkflowIDS, validation, BCF and IfcOpenShell, with AI assistants to build your own tools.
Plus pre-work before day one, a certificate and lifetime access to the recordings.
- A free taste right away: The Alignment, a course built on these 6 modules
- First to hear when enrolment opens, with a limited, better price
- Invitations to live events, with more of them coming
Before you subscribe
What is The Alignment?
A free newsletter on practical BIM for infrastructure: IFC 4.3, openBIM workflows, AI and automation. It starts with twelve free lessons by e-mail, two from each of the six workshops of the IFC Infrastructure Masterclass, one every two days. Then it continues once a week with practical tips from real projects.
Is it really free?
Yes. No payment, no trial. You can unsubscribe with one click from any e-mail.
Do I need to know IFC or openBIM already?
No. The course starts from the fundamentals of infrastructure data and builds up. If you are experienced, you will structure what you know and pick up practical approaches you have not seen in the documentation.
Will I hear about Edition 3 of the Masterclass?
Yes. Edition 3 of the IFC Infrastructure Masterclass starts in Q1 2027, in a new format. The Alignment subscribers hear first, before public enrolment, and get a limited, better price and invitations to live events.
How is it different from the Masterclass?
The Alignment teaches the foundations by e-mail, for free. The IFC Infrastructure Masterclass is taught live and goes deeper. Edition 3 starts in Q1 2027, and subscribers hear first, with a limited, better price.
Why the name?
In IFC 4.3 the alignment is the backbone: every road, railway and bridge is placed along it, and stations work like house numbers along the road. Get it right and everything else falls into place.
