Description:

This presentation will provide an in-depth discussion of the new BIMForum 2018 Level Of Development (LOD) Specification from one of the Specification's authors. It will address model elements at the different stages in a building life cycle: Design, Construction and Ownership. The framework of the discussion will consider the LOD Specification that defines models on a scale of 100 to 500 with a particular focus of LOD 350 which the speaker originally authored and introduced to the LOD Specification committee. The content will discuss how element models are used by architects, mechanical engineers, construction managers, sub-contractors and fabricators. This will demonstrate how the newly issued LOD Specification can be used to define team expectations of what should be modeled. Practical examples of model detail issues will be shown along with effective approaches to resolve the challenges using the LOD Specification as an early BIM planning tool.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Define what is Model Element Level Of Development (LOD) for design.
  • Understand how the LOD Specification can be used with design and construction teams to lower risk.
  • Understand what the AGC BIM Forum LOD Specification 2018 is and how you can address LOD in projects with it.
  • Understand why LOD discussions are crucial early on in a project.
