Different Levels of Detail (LOD):

LOD 500 (As-Built)

This stage incorporates the final graphical elements into the finished project. This stage shows all changes and deviations to the original design. This final model serves as a reference point for all future operational activities related to building construction. It will be there throughout the project’s life cycle.

BIM intelligence is based on the inclusion of the Level of Detail (LOD), in its modeling process. It makes the model more accessible without compromising its fundamental details. It allows professionals to have more information about the construction process and maintains communication. The LOD also accurately sets the graphical outcome so that the final model does not suffer from any errors. The various stages ensure that each stage is given enough attention and work is done productively. Designers and other professionals can attest to the high productivity LOD brings to the workplace.
