Construction with BIM LOD'S

BIM Adaptic & Supporting Projects

We, BIMAdaptics helps in not only BIM technology implementation, however, we also aggressively learning new software applications. We will also communicate how to reinvent the workflow & will train staff and discuss the assigned responsibilities, and the way of modeling the construction time to time by utilizing the help of our Autodesk Learning partners, which helps our clients directly. It was seen that most firms are adopting BIM technology.

BIM is taking off in many countries across the world. Today, most of the countries have BIM standards in place regarding the BIM level used in projects. But what are the differences between countries and how can we overcome them?

Very truly, it is a difficult task to understand directly what is the difference between each country. We, BIMAdaptics can say, by doing different projects from various countries. Above that, we have experienced employees’ expertise through their familiarity with industries preeminent practices and their capability to observe to guidelines of BIM forum, as per building information BIM protocol and follow standards like CSC, IES, AIA, BSI, NBIS-US, which will help to model LOD from 100 to 500.

 

Plan

Apprise project planning by merging reality apprehension and real-world data to produce framework models of the existing built and natural environment.

Design

Throughout this stage, conceptual design, analysis, detailing, and documentation are performed. The preconstruction development commences using BIM data to notify preparation and logistics.

Build

Throughout this stage, fabrication begins using the BIM specification process. Project construction logistics are collective with all trades and contractors to confirm the finest timing and proficiency.

Operate

BIM data carries over to operations and maintenance of finished assets. BIM data can be used down the road for cost-effective renovation or efficient deconstruction too.

Fundamental LOD Definitions

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.
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
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-graphics 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 and other building. 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
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 Element

Example-light Fixture

 

100 cost/sf attached to floor stabs
200 light fixture, generic/approximate size/shape/location
300 Design specified 2*4 troffer, specific size/shape/location
350 Actual Model, lightolier DPA2G12LS232, specific size/shape/location
400 As 350, plus special mounting details, as in a decorative soffit
