Allplan is a BIM design-to-build software platform developed by Nemetschek Group, used by architects, structural engineers, civil engineers, and construction professionals to model buildings from concept through construction documentation. It covers architectural design, structural engineering, reinforcement detailing, MEP coordination, civil and infrastructure projects, and precast fabrication — all within a single interdisciplinary platform. In Dubai, where Dubai Municipality mandates BIM for projects above AED 100 million and major developers require IFC-compliant model deliverables, Allplan is an established tool used by engineering consultancies, contractors, and infrastructure firms. Allplan course training at Orbit Training Centre prepares professionals to produce fully compliant BIM models, construction drawings, and reinforcement schedules to UAE project standards.
According to Dubai Municipality’s BIM circular, projects valued above AED 100 million are required to be submitted using BIM-compliant workflows. Dubai Land Department data shows real estate transactions in Dubai reached AED 761 billion in 2024 — a record high — which directly drives demand for qualified BIM professionals across architecture, structural, and MEP disciplines.
Major project owners in Dubai including Emaar, Nakheel, Dubai South, DEWA, and RTA require BIM model deliverables from their design consultants and contractors, making proficiency in platforms like Allplan directly tied to project compliance and employability.
Allplan is used by more than 240,000 engineers and BIM professionals across 52 countries (Allplan/Roads & Bridges), making certification in the platform a globally transferable credential.
BIM Engineers in Dubai earn AED 5,000–9,000 per month at entry level, AED 9,000–14,000 at mid-level, and AED 14,000–20,000 or above at senior levels, according to Glassdoor UAE data (2025). Structural Engineers in Dubai earn AED 7,000–16,000 per month in the typical pay band. For professionals moving from 2D CAD drafting into BIM, Allplan certification typically results in a role upgrade within 12–18 months of gaining the credential.
This course covers Allplan’s full BIM workflow from initial project setup through to construction-ready deliverables. Students learn to:
Structural engineering modules cover formwork plans for a typical G+15 residential tower, reinforcement bar scheduling, mesh placement, and bar bending diagrams to Dubai Municipality drawing submission format.
Students also learn to use Allplan Bimplus — Allplan’s cloud collaboration platform — to share models with project partners, coordinate clash detection, and manage IFC exchange with Revit and AutoCAD users on the same project.
Training runs across 30–35 hours in 2-hour sessions. One-to-one students can complete the course in two to three weeks by attending multiple sessions per week.
This course is open to anyone in the AEC sector — no prior Allplan experience is required.
Structural engineers who produce reinforcement drawings in AutoCAD, or who use other BIM tools but need Allplan proficiency for a specific employer or project requirement, are the primary audience. Architects working on projects for European clients or contractors who specify Allplan as the project BIM platform will also benefit.
BIM coordinators managing interdisciplinary models, civil engineers working on infrastructure projects with Allplan Engineering, and fresh engineering graduates seeking a BIM qualification before entering the job market can all join without prerequisite software knowledge.
Basic computer skills and familiarity with technical drawing are sufficient to start. Prior AutoCAD or Revit experience is helpful but not required.

Mukesh Raiya, trainer at Orbit Training Centre with 11 years of UAE experience, has trained over 1,000 professionals across CAD, BIM, structural design, and data disciplines. His background spans structural engineering software and BIM tools, making the Allplan course at Orbit one of the few in Dubai delivered by a trainer with direct construction industry experience rather than pure software instruction.
The free demo session at Orbit is a live working session — not a recorded video or a promotional presentation. It includes a walkthrough of the Allplan interface, a hands-on exercise modelling a basic wall and slab structure from scratch, and a direct Q&A with Mukesh so prospective students can assess the pace and teaching approach before committing to the course.
Post-training support at Orbit covers 30 days of continued access to course materials, direct mentor queries for any questions that arise when applying skills in a live project environment, and guidance on registering for and sitting the Allplan User Certification exam, which is Nemetschek’s recognised credential for Allplan proficiency. Orbit’s certificates are KHDA-aligned, meaning they are accepted by UAE employers as evidence of professional development and add credibility to a CV across Dubai’s construction sector.
Training runs Monday through Sunday with flexible morning, afternoon, and evening slots. Online live sessions are available for UAE-based professionals who cannot attend in person, with full trainer screen-sharing and interactive exercises.
Allplan is a Building Information Modelling (BIM) design-to-build software platform developed by the Nemetschek Group, used by architects, structural engineers, and civil engineers to model buildings and infrastructure, produce construction documentation, and coordinate projects through cloud-based collaboration. Like other modern BIM platforms, Allplan is built around object-based modelling — walls, slabs, columns, and other building elements are intelligent, data-rich objects rather than simple drawn lines, meaning a change to one element automatically updates every related view, section, and quantity report drawn from the model. What distinguishes Allplan within the broader BIM software landscape is the depth of its native structural engineering and reinforcement detailing tools — bar bending schedules, formwork plans, mesh placement — which are built directly into the core platform rather than requiring separate specialist add-ons, making it a particularly strong choice for structural engineers who need detailed, construction-ready reinforcement documentation as a core deliverable. Allplan also includes Bimplus, its cloud collaboration platform, for sharing models with project partners, managing clash detection, and exchanging data with Revit and AutoCAD users via the IFC open BIM standard — reflecting how rarely any single project team uses only one BIM platform in practice.
In professional practice, Allplan is used across the full building design-to-construction lifecycle. Architects use it to set up projects with proper floor management and building structure hierarchies, then model walls, slabs, columns, beams, openings, stairs, and roofs, generating associative 2D sections, elevations, and floor plan extractions directly from the 3D model rather than drafting each drawing sheet separately. Structural engineers use Allplan specifically for formwork plan production, reinforcement bar scheduling, and mesh placement — detailed, construction-ready documentation that contractors and steel fixers work from directly on site. The platform automatically generates bills of quantities and material reports from the model’s underlying data, giving project teams accurate, model-derived cost information rather than relying on a manual, separate takeoff process disconnected from the design itself. On coordinated, multi-discipline projects, Allplan’s Bimplus platform is used to share models between architectural, structural, and MEP teams, run clash detection to catch coordination conflicts before construction, and exchange IFC-compliant model data with project partners using different BIM software, which is the practical reality on most large Dubai developments involving multiple firms and disciplines.
The course covers Allplan’s full BIM workflow from initial project setup through to construction-ready deliverables across 30–35 hours in 2-hour sessions. You’ll learn to set up projects with correct floor management and building structure hierarchies, then model walls, slabs, columns, beams, openings, stairs, and roofs using Allplan’s object-based architecture tools, before moving into creating associative 2D sections, elevations, and floor plan extractions directly from the 3D model — and generating bills of quantities and material reports automatically from the model data rather than through separate manual takeoff work. The structural engineering modules go into real depth: formwork plans for a typical G+15 residential tower, reinforcement bar scheduling, mesh placement, and bar bending diagrams produced to Dubai Municipality drawing submission format, giving you the exact category of deliverable Dubai structural consultancies expect from working staff. You’ll also learn to use Allplan Bimplus to share models with project partners, coordinate clash detection, and manage IFC exchange with Revit and AutoCAD users on the same project — the practical multi-software collaboration skill that matters on essentially every real Dubai project involving more than one design firm.
Dubai Municipality’s BIM circular requires BIM-compliant workflows for projects valued above AED 100 million, and with real estate transactions in Dubai reaching a record AED 761 billion according to Dubai Land Department data, the volume of high-value projects falling under this BIM compliance threshold is substantial and growing. Major project owners in Dubai including Emaar, Nakheel, Dubai South, DEWA, and RTA require BIM model deliverables directly from their design consultants and contractors, meaning proficiency in a platform like Allplan is directly tied to project compliance and, by extension, employability at firms working on these developer relationships. Allplan’s particular strength in structural engineering and reinforcement detailing is especially relevant to Dubai’s construction market, where the volume of concrete-frame residential and commercial towers under construction at any given time creates sustained demand for engineers who can produce accurate, construction-ready reinforcement documentation efficiently. As precast and modular construction methods gain traction in Dubai as a way to accelerate build timelines, Allplan’s dedicated precast design tools position skilled users for a genuinely growing specialisation within the broader BIM skills market, distinct from the more general architectural BIM modelling that dominates entry-level roles.
Entry-level professionals typically start as Junior BIM Modellers or Draughtsmen focused on Allplan Architecture work, earning AED 4,000–7,000 per month while building modelling speed and accuracy under supervision. With independent modelling capability, most progress into a full BIM Engineer role combining Allplan with IFC and Bimplus collaboration skills, earning AED 5,000–9,000, or into a Structural Draughtsman role focused specifically on Allplan Engineering’s reinforcement and formwork tools, earning AED 5,500–9,000. From there, career paths lead toward Structural Engineer (BIM) positions combining Allplan modelling with broader structural design responsibility, earning AED 9,000–16,000, and Senior BIM Engineer or Coordinator roles managing multi-discipline model coordination on larger projects, earning AED 10,000–20,000. The most experienced path leads to BIM Manager positions overseeing an organisation’s entire BIM strategy and standards, combining technical Allplan expertise with project management responsibility, earning AED 15,000–25,000 or more. Structural engineers who pair Allplan proficiency with STAAD Pro or ETABS structural analysis knowledge consistently command the upper end of these ranges, since that dual technical profile — analysis plus detailed BIM modelling — is specifically what Dubai’s larger structural consultancies look for when filling senior technical roles.
It’s worth spending extra time explaining why reinforcement detailing gets so much emphasis in this course, since it’s genuinely where Allplan differentiates itself most from general-purpose BIM platforms. Producing an accurate bar bending schedule by hand, or even semi-manually in a general BIM tool without dedicated reinforcement functionality, is slow and error-prone — a small mistake in a rebar quantity or bend dimension can cause real fabrication and construction delays once it reaches the steel fixing team on site. Allplan’s reinforcement tools let engineers place rebar directly within the 3D structural model, with bending schedules, quantities, and drawings all generated automatically and kept synchronised as the design evolves, rather than manually redrawn every time a structural revision changes a member’s reinforcement requirements. This matters enormously in Dubai specifically, where the sheer volume of concrete-frame tower construction underway at any given time means structural consultancies process reinforcement documentation for dozens of projects simultaneously, and firms that can produce this documentation faster and more accurately have a genuine competitive and cost advantage. The course dedicates real, hands-on time to this specific skill on the G+15 tower project precisely because it’s the single Allplan capability most likely to distinguish a graduate’s practical usefulness to a Dubai structural consultancy from day one on the job.
Orbit’s Allplan course is taught by Mukesh Raiya, a trainer with 11 years of UAE experience who has trained over 1,000 professionals across CAD, BIM, structural design, and data disciplines, with a background spanning structural engineering software and BIM tools that makes the Allplan course at Orbit one of the few in Dubai delivered by a trainer with direct construction industry experience rather than pure software instruction. The free demo session at Orbit is a genuine live working session — a walkthrough of the Allplan interface, a hands-on exercise modelling a basic wall and slab structure from scratch, and a direct Q&A with Mukesh, giving prospective students a real assessment of pace and teaching approach before committing. Post-training support at Orbit covers 30 days of continued access to course materials, direct mentor queries for questions that arise applying skills in a live project environment, and guidance on registering for and sitting the Allplan User Certification exam, Nemetschek’s recognised credential for Allplan proficiency.

Whether you’re a structural engineer who currently produces reinforcement drawings in AutoCAD and needs Allplan proficiency for a specific employer or project requirement, an architect working on projects for European clients or contractors who specify Allplan as the project BIM platform, a BIM coordinator managing interdisciplinary models, or a fresh engineering graduate seeking a BIM qualification before entering the job market, the course requires no prior Allplan experience and works from complete fundamentals through to construction-ready project deliverables. Basic computer skills and familiarity with technical drawing are sufficient to start, and prior AutoCAD or Revit experience helps but isn’t required. Book your free demo at Orbit Training Centre to get a genuine, hands-on sense of the Allplan workflow, the trainer’s teaching style, and how the course would apply to your specific structural, architectural, or BIM coordination background before committing to enrolment.
Allplan is a BIM design-to-build platform developed by Nemetschek Group, used by architects, structural engineers, and civil engineers to model buildings, produce construction drawings, generate reinforcement plans, and coordinate projects via cloud collaboration. It supports the full project lifecycle from architectural concept through structural detailing, formwork, and IFC-compliant model exchange, and is used by more than 240,000 professionals across 52 countries.
Yes. Allplan is used by engineering consultancies, contractors, and infrastructure firms operating in Dubai and the wider UAE on projects requiring BIM-compliant deliverables. Dubai Municipality mandates BIM for projects above AED 100 million, and major developers including Emaar, Nakheel, and DEWA require IFC-compliant model submissions from their design and engineering partners. Allplan’s open BIM and IFC4 compatibility makes it a practical choice for Dubai project workflows.
The Allplan course at Orbit Training Centre runs across 30–35 hours of instruction delivered in 2-hour sessions. In batch format with weekend and weekday options, most students complete the course in 4–6 weeks. In one-to-one training, engineers attending multiple sessions per week typically finish in 2–3 weeks. The course can also be structured around a specific project requirement if a particular set of modules is the priority.
Both Allplan and Revit are BIM platforms, but they differ in their strengths. Allplan has strong structural engineering and reinforcement detailing tools built in natively, making it a preferred choice for structural engineers producing rebar schedules and formwork plans. Revit is widely used for architectural design and MEP coordination. Many Dubai projects use both — Allplan models can be exchanged with Revit users via IFC, which is managed through Allplan’s Bimplus collaboration platform.
BIM Engineers in Dubai earn AED 5,000–9,000 per month at entry level and AED 9,000–14,000 per month at mid-level, according to Glassdoor UAE data (2025). Senior BIM Engineers and BIM Coordinators with multi-discipline project experience earn AED 14,000–20,000 or above. Structural Engineers with BIM proficiency earn AED 9,000–16,000 in the typical pay band. Professionals who hold Allplan certification alongside UAE project experience sit in the upper range of these bands within 12–18 months of certification.
For engineers and architects coming from AutoCAD, the transition to Allplan involves a genuine mindset shift — from drawing individual lines and shapes to working with intelligent, object-based building elements that know what they are (a wall, a slab, a column) and behave accordingly, automatically updating related views and reports when the model changes. This shift takes practice but isn’t conceptually difficult once demonstrated, and the course’s project setup and floor management modules are specifically structured to build this understanding early, before moving into detailed modelling. For Revit users specifically, Allplan feels more immediately familiar, since both are object-based BIM platforms built around similar underlying logic — the learning curve here is more about Allplan’s particular interface and workflow conventions than the fundamental concepts, which mostly transfer directly. Where Allplan genuinely stands apart, and where even experienced BIM users need dedicated learning time, is its structural engineering and reinforcement detailing tools — formwork plans, bar bending schedules, mesh placement — which are more deeply built into Allplan natively than in most competing platforms, and represent the area where the course invests the most dedicated practice time regardless of a student’s prior BIM software background.
Both are strong structural detailing platforms, and the choice often comes down to what the wider project team and employer already use rather than one being objectively superior. Allplan’s strength is combining architectural and structural BIM within one integrated platform, which suits engineers and firms that need to move fluidly between architectural coordination and structural detailing work on the same model, and its Bimplus cloud collaboration tools make IFC-based coordination with Revit and AutoCAD users on mixed-software projects genuinely smooth. Tekla Structures is more narrowly focused and arguably deeper specifically for steel and precast concrete detailing at a very high level of fabrication-ready detail, making it the preferred choice at firms specialising heavily in steel structure or precast manufacturing. For most Dubai structural engineers working across a general mix of concrete and steel building projects, Allplan’s broader integration with architectural BIM workflows makes it the more versatile skill, while Tekla remains the deeper specialist tool for firms whose work is concentrated specifically in steel or precast fabrication detailing. Many senior structural BIM professionals in Dubai end up with working knowledge of both, since employer requirements vary by project type.
Precast concrete manufacturers represent a specific and often overlooked employer of Allplan skills, since Allplan Precast — a dedicated module within the platform — is purpose-built for precast element design and production drawing generation, an increasingly relevant specialisation as Dubai’s construction industry adopts more precast and modular construction methods to speed up build timelines. Main contractors with in-house BIM coordination teams hire Allplan-skilled staff for construction-stage model management and clash detection, rather than relying entirely on the design consultant’s model. Structural steel and reinforcement fabrication companies value Allplan’s detailed bar bending schedule and formwork plan outputs, since accurate, well-formatted reinforcement documentation directly speeds up their fabrication and delivery process. Government and semi-government infrastructure bodies increasingly require BIM-compliant deliverables for public project submissions, creating demand for Allplan skills within organisations that traditionally relied entirely on external consultants for BIM modelling. International engineering firms with a Dubai office, particularly those with European headquarters where Allplan has a stronger traditional user base than in some other regions, also specifically seek Allplan proficiency for consistency across their global project teams.
Yes — online live sessions are available for UAE-based professionals who cannot attend in person, with full trainer screen-sharing and interactive exercises covering the identical curriculum as the in-person course, including the G+15 residential tower formwork and reinforcement modules and the Bimplus cloud collaboration training. Online delivery lets the trainer review your wall, slab, and column modelling directly as you build it, and walk through reinforcement detailing and bar bending schedule generation with you step by step rather than you attempting these detail-heavy tasks independently and only getting feedback afterward — which matters considerably given how precise Allplan’s structural detailing output needs to be for real project use. This format works well for working structural engineers and BIM coordinators who need Allplan skills but can’t commit to a fixed in-person schedule. Online students receive the same KHDA-aligned certification and the same guidance on Allplan User Certification exam registration as in-person students.
For structural engineers, pairing Allplan with STAAD Pro structural analysis skills creates a genuinely complete profile — STAAD Pro handles the structural analysis and design calculations, while Allplan handles the detailed modelling, formwork, and reinforcement documentation that follows from that analysis, and Dubai employers specifically value engineers who can move fluidly between both stages of structural project delivery rather than only one. Quantity and cost skills through Orbit’s Quantity Surveying course pair well for BIM professionals interested in the automatic bill of quantities and material reports Allplan generates directly from the model, since understanding how to interpret and refine those cost outputs adds genuine value beyond pure modelling capability. For professionals working on architecturally-led projects rather than purely structural ones, familiarity with Vectorworks or Revit rounds out a BIM skill set that spans both the architectural and structural sides of a coordinated project, valuable for BIM coordinators managing multi-discipline model integration across an entire project team.
