What is BIM LOD? Guide of LOD 200,300,400 and 500
Introduction Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a vital part of modern construction and is Level of Development in BIM. LOD (Level of Development) is the term used to describe the level of accuracy and detail in a BIM at various project stages. Understanding these stages can help architects, engineers and contractors plan more efficiently, reduce errors and deliver better projects . Different Levels of LOD in BIM LOD 200 At LOD 200 , the BIM model is composed of generic elements that have a size, shape and location. This level is used primarily during the conceptual design and schematic stages. This level allows stakeholders to explore design options and estimate costs early on. It is not suitable for construction, but it provides a visual basis for initial planning and design. LOD 300 LOD 300 offers accurate geometry and measurements, allowing for precise coordination and construction documentation. Each component is precisely positioned, including walls, structural elements, do...
