We Deliver BIM models that confirm to levels of Development (LOD – 100 to 500) to specify and articulate design details with high level of clarity.

Right from drafters to design consultants, contractors to construction firms, and engineers to architects, BIM has become an integral part of communication at various stages of building design and construction.

Our BIM teams empower each professional by resolving design complexity through 3D visualization, Bill of Quantities (BOQs), scheduling, estimations, on-site production control and fabrication.

We create 3D models equivalent to detailed Gantt charts to help contractors stay updated about the planned progress v/s the actual progress on site.Furthermore, we also deliver BIM models to help contractors collaborate with building products fabricator by illustrating model elemental characteristics at various Levels of Development.

The LOD framework enables effective and accurate planning and tracking of several facets of the project delivery process at multiple stages. Our purpose built LOD models will enable you to gain better control over projects, streamline workflows and increase productivity.

Reasons you should insist on LOD specifications:

1. Although, LOD specifications cannot replace BIM Execution Plan (BIMXP), it is still necessary for the following reasons to have on your construction project.
2. It allows model authors to define model utility and reliability aspects for downstream users
3. LOD sets usability and limitations of the model as and when received by different stakeholders
4. LOD documents help owners to set inclusion aspects in BIM deliverables
5. It helps design manager to communicate design details needed at various levels of design process
6. It establishes standard references for contracts and BIMXP

Level of Development Vs Level of Detail

While both level of development and level of detail are abbreviated as LOD, they both mean different things. LOD where D stands for detail talks about the graphical details that are added to a model, however level of development is a measure of gravity of information represented by a BIM element. The level of development is a reasonable concept developed by AIA where development refers to the level of certainty about an object.

For example if you are contractor – you do not need to know how the element looks, however what is more important is what is the manufacturer number and model number. Similarly the amount and type of information needed by various construction professionals for varied purposes differs.

We deliver LOD for different levels as classified by American institute of Architects (AIA):

BIM Concept Modelling 

LOD 100: The Model Element may be graphically represented in the Model with a symbol or other generic representation, but does not satisfy the requirements for LOD 200. Information related to the Model Element (i.e. cost per square foot, tonnage of HVAC, etc.) can be derived from other Model Elements.

BIM Tender Modelling

LOD 200: The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a generic system, object, or assembly with approximate quantities, size, shape, location, and orientation. Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Element.

BIM Shop drawing Modelling

LOD 300: The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a specific system, object or assembly in terms of quantity, size, shape, location, and orientation. Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Element.

LOD 350: The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a specific system, object, or assembly in terms of quantity, size, shape, orientation, and interfaces with other building systems. Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Element.

LOD 400: The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a specific system, object or assembly in terms of size, shape, location, quantity, and orientation with detailing, fabrication, assembly, and installation information. Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Element.

BIM As-built Modelling

LOD 500: The Model Element is a field verified representation in terms of size, shape, location, quantity, and orientation. Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Elements.
