The main objectives of the BIM methodology are to facilitate and streamline construction projects through an orderly and coordinated system in all phases of the life cycle. To do this, we use computer programs above all, but also a considerable number of terms and standards to organize our work. The Level of Development – Level Of Development in English, LOD – is one of those basic concepts in BIM that is sometimes not clear and difficult to understand among beginners. In the Kömmerling Challenge we explain and clarify what LOD is and how to avoid confusing it with other similar BIM terms. Index [ Show ] What is the Level of Development (LOD) and what role does it play in the BIM methodology? lod bim The BIM Level of Development -LOD- is a reference indicator that allows us to specify the degree of reliability of both graphic and non-graphic content of a particular element in BIM modeling. Its main objective is to help in communication and understanding between project agents and thanks to the LOD we know the level of content of the digital twin.
LODs for? In what phase should they be defined? This BIM content organization structure is above all a communication and collaboration tool . Speaking in “LOD language” serves, for example: To organize the gradual progress from concept to detail during BIM modeling. It allows us to immediately know the precision of the modeled elements . For example, if an element is defined at LOD 200, you can know for sure that the modeled dimensions and shapes are not final, the location is approximate, etc., regardless of how it appears graphically. If we need to work more on the elements defined by colleagues to reach Industry Email List the level required in the deliverables, in BIM modeling environments with several collaborators. The LODs come into action in the BIM development phase, that is, in the design and construction of the building. When the client publishes a BIM project tender, the teams that are presented normally attach the BIM Execution Plan -BEP-, within which the deliverables and LODs that will be achieved in each of these are proposed. How are LODs established in the BIM project? First we want to make it clear to you that a specific BIM LOD does not serve to mark project milestones .
That is to say: think that, for example, when I reach a LOD 400 in all elements, the model is ready to deliver the execution project. How are BIM LODs used in the architectural design process? The correct way to use them is to establish LOD goals for the different components of the building and include them in the BIM - BEP - Execution Project . For example: for the delivery of what we call “basic project”, it can be established in the BEP that the elements of the project envelope reach LOD 200 and installations reach LOD 100. Furthermore, as in the BIM methodology, LODs improve our projects when we use them appropriately. To do this, we want to clarify a series of ideas for you: The BIM LODs are used in each construction element, active system, particular work unit, but they never refer to the entire model as a whole . It is therefore incorrect that we talk about a “BIM model with LOD 300”. It is very important to agree on the fair and necessary LODs , especially that the client/promoter is aware of its final usefulness and has the ability to request reasonable LODs so as not to work in vain. The impact of LODs on coordination between project design teams BIM LODs produce a direct impact on the productivity of design agents , since they do not give rise to doubts at the level of definition, and therefore work just what is necessary.
