Level of detailing in building modelling

Level Of Detail in BIM

1. Lod in bim Aryan thiyagarajan

2. INTRO In Building Information Modeling (BIM), LOD stands for Level of Development. It is a framework used to define the level of detail and reliability of BIM elements throughout a project's lifecycle. LOD helps project stakeholders understand the degree of accuracy and the extent to which elements have been developed. Lod in bim 2

3. The 6 levels of detail in bim Lod in bim 3 LOD 100 LOD 200 LOD 300 LOD 400 LOD 500 LOD 600

4. LOD 100 - CONCEPTUAL Lod in bim 4 Basic Characteristics: Represents the overall design intent. Simplistic forms indicating building massing. Visualization: Often includes 2D drawings alongside 3D models. Collaboration: Initial discussions among stakeholders to align visions. Use Cases: Site selection and feasibility studies. High-level project budgeting and scheduling.

5. LOD 200 –APPROXIMATE GEOMETRY Lod in bim 5 Basic Characteristics: More refined shapes and sizes for major elements. Generic representations of systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing). Visualization: 3D models start to represent approximate dimensions. Collaboration: Enhanced team interactions for design options. Use Cases: Design iterations and preliminary design reviews. Early coordination between different disciplines.

6. LOD 300 –PRECISE GEOMETRY Lod in bim 6 Basic Characteristics: - Detailed representations of architectural, structural, and MEP elements. - Includes actual materials and specifications.- Visualization: Models allow for realistic renderings and clash detection.- Collaboration: Increased detail fosters improved collaboration among disciplines. Use Cases: - Production of construction documents and shop drawings. - Quantity take-offs and more accurate cost estimates.

7. LOD 400 - FABRICATION Lod in bim 7 Basic Characteristics: Model reflects the built project with all changes documented. Incorporates any alterations made during construction. Visualization: Represents actual site conditions and configurations. Collaboration: Serves as a historical record for all stakeholders.- Use Cases: Post-construction documentation for maintenance. Assists in future renovations or expansions.

8. LOD 500- AS BUILT Lod in bim 8 Basic Characteristics: Model reflects the built project with all changes documented. Incorporates any alterations made during construction.- Visualization: Represents actual site conditions and configurations. Collaboration: Serves as a historical record for all stakeholders. Use Cases: Post-construction documentation for maintenance. Assists in future renovations or expansions. LOD 600- OPERATIONS Basic Characteristics: Integrates operational data and lifecycle information. Includes maintenance schedules, warranties, and contact information.- Visualization: Model used for facilities management systems. Collaboration: Supports ongoing collaboration with facility management teams. Use Cases: Streamlines operations, maintenance, and asset management. Facilitates performance monitoring and sustainability efforts.

9. SUMMARY Presentation Title 9 Benefits of LOD: Improves clarity and communication among project stakeholders. Helps in managing expectations and project outcomes. Transition between LODs: Each level builds on the previous one, enhancing detail and complexity Standards and Guidelines: Various organizations provide guidelines (e.g., AIA, buildingSMART ) to standardize LOD definitions. Impact on Project Delivery: Clear LOD definitions lead to more efficient project delivery and reduced errors.
