BIM Level of Development (LOD)

LOD 100: CONCEPT DESIGN.

The Model Element may be graphically represented in the Model with a symbol or other generic representation, but does not satisfy the requirement for LOD 200. Information related to the Model Element (i.e. cost per square foot, the tonnage of HVAC, etc.) can be derived from other Model Elements.

LOD 200-SCHEMATIC DESIGN

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 – DETAILED DESIGN

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-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Element.

LOD 400: FABRICATION and ASSEMBLY

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: ASBUILT

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 Elements.
