PlinnthBIM offering Building Information Modeling (BIM) services at Level of Development (LOD) 500, Bult Modeling Services provides the highest level of detail and accuracy in BIM models. LOD 500 is typically used for as-built conditions and includes precise geometry, location, quantity, and attributes of building components.
BIM (Building Information Modeling) and the Level of Development (LOD) specification, specifically LOD 500. LOD 500 represents the highest level of detail in BIM, which is used for as-built models.
What We Offer of LOD 500:
1. As-Built Modeling:
Accurate Representation: Detailed 3D models that represent the actual, constructed conditions.
Field Verified: Models are created based on field-verified data, including laser scanning and other reality capture technologies.
2. Complete Geometry:
High Precision: Every component, down to the smallest detail, is modeled accurately in terms of shape, size, orientation, and location.
Complex Structures: Ability to handle complex geometry and detailed architectural elements.
3. Comprehensive Data:
Attributes and Specifications: Each element in the model includes complete data on materials, specifications, and performance characteristics.
Manufacturer Information: Models include detailed information from manufacturers for each component.
4. Facility Management:
Integration with FM Systems: Models can be integrated with facility management systems for ongoing maintenance and operations.
Lifecycle Information: All relevant lifecycle information for building components is included, facilitating long-term asset management.
5. Coordination and Clash Detection:
Detailed Coordination: High level of detail ensures thorough coordination among various disciplines (architectural, structural, MEP).
Clash Resolution: Detailed models allow for the identification and resolution of potential clashes before construction.
6. Documentation:
Construction Documentation: Models serve as a precise reference for construction documentation and verification.
Compliance: Ensure compliance with relevant codes, standards, and client requirements.
7. Virtual Walkthroughs and Visualization:
- Enhanced Visualization: Provide clients with high-fidelity visualizations and virtual walkthroughs for better understanding and decision-making.
- Detailed As-Built Models: LOD 500 models represent the exact geometry and spatial location of building elements. These models are used for facility management and operations after construction is complete.
- Accuracy: LOD 500 models are created using field-verified data, ensuring that the model accurately reflects the constructed building.
- Applications: These models are used for maintenance, operations, renovations, and future building assessments. They are crucial for facility managers who need precise information about the building’s components and systems.
- Data Integration: LOD 500 models often include data from various sources, such as COBie (Construction Operations Building Information Exchange), to ensure comprehensive information about the building’s assets.
