This document discusses the Level of Development (LOD) concept in Building Information Modeling (BIM). It explains that LOD defines the level of geometric and information detail for BIM elements based on their intended use. Common LOD classifications include LOD 300 for tender drawings, LOD 400 for shop drawings with approved equipment details, and LOD 500 for as-built drawings used for facilities management. The document also outlines how BIM can be used for areas like coordination, documentation, design analysis, and facility management tasks. Standardization efforts like template development and naming conventions are discussed as well as uses of BIM like clash detection, simulations, and automated design.

2. LOD EXPLANATION

3. LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT (LOD) EXPLAINATION
THE LOI CONCEPT:
ELEMENTS SHARED INFORMATION : Brands, Price, Warranties, Material Durations, Vendor info.
ELEMENTS INDIVIDUALS INFORMATION : Equipment ratings, Systems etc. (Unique to elements)
THE LoD CONCEPT:
ELEMENTS GEOMETRY DETAILING : the Level Of Accuracy (LOA) for a model based on it’s use

4. LOD 500 EVOLVING GRAPH
WHAT EVERYONE EXPECTED

5. LOD 500 EVOLVING GRAPH
THE JUSTIFICATIONS OF LOD500 TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATIONS :
ELEMENTS : which elements that were actually required by the owner
ACCURACY : the Level Of Accuracy (LOA) for a model based on it’s use
INFORMATION : which information parameters were actually needed
DETAILING : the required geometric detail
WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPEN

6. LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT (LOD) FLOW CONCEPT

7. COMMON PRACTICES LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT (LOD) WORKS
LOD300
•As Per Tender Drawings Documents
•All Elements Coordinated
LOD400
•As Per Shop Drawings Documentation
•Upgrade BIM Elements & Families To
Approved Brands.
•Adding Supports, Hangers & Conduits.
•Elements to Pre-fabricated.
LOD500
•As Per As-built Drawings Documentation
•Adding Information's Use For Facilities
Management To Client Objective.

9. BIM IMPLEMENTATION

10. STANDARDIZATION
LIBRARY / TEMPLATE DEVELOPMENT :
MODELED OVER 600 MEP REVIT FAMILIES COMPLETE WITH
TECHNICAL & DIMENSIONAL PARAMETERS.
PREPARED A MASTER TEMPLATE TO SUITE THE COMPANY &
AUTHORITY REQUIREMENTS
BIM IMPLEMENTATION STANDARDS :
DEVELOPED AN INTERNAL BIM EXECUTION PLAN WHICH INCLUDES
LOD REQUIREMENTS, NAMING CONVENTIONS, WORKFLOWS, FILE
MANAGEMENTS ETC

11. COORDINATION
CLASH ANALYSIS :
ANALYSED AND SOLVED CLASHES BETWEEN ALL TRADES USING CLASH
DETECTION TOOLS IN REVIT
SIMULATIONS :
CONDUCTED VIRTUAL SITE WALKTHROUGH USING NAVISWORK FOR
CLIENTS TO ASSIST THEM IN UNDERSTANDING DESIGN INTENTIONS.
SO WILL HELP IN DECISION MAKING.
VARIOUS BUILDING TYPES :
COORDINATED MEP SERVICES FOR RESIDENTIALS, OFFICES, FACTORIES,
MALLS, HOSPITALS, POWER PLANTS ETC.

12. DESIGN ANALYSIS
AUTOMATED SIZING:
AUTOMATED DESIGN CALCULATIONS SUCH AS DUCT / PIPE / TRAYS
USING REVIT TO GENERATE MORE ACCURATE AND FAST RESULTS
DESIGN OPTIMISATION:
USE REVIT FEATURES SUCH AS COLOR LEGENDS & SCHEDULES TO
OPTIMISE MEP DESIGN
INFORMATION FILLED MODELS:
BUILT MODELS WITH TECHNICAL ENGINEERING DATA TO ALLOW
AUTOMATION OF DESIGN & SIZING

13. DOCUMENTATION
TENDER DOCUMENTATION:
UTILISED COORDINATED REVIT MODELS FOR TENDER PURPOSES.
REVIT TEMPLATE OPTIMISED TO GENERATE CLEAR & TIDY
DOCUMENTATION.
SCHEMATICS:
REVIT 3D MODELS USE TO GENERATE FLOOR PLANS AND ISOMETRIC
SCHEMATIC VIEWS
DETAILED DRAWINGS:
DRAWINGS FOR DETAILED COMPONENTS SUCH AS PLANT ROOMS
AND RISERS ARE PRODUCE FOR TENDER

14. R&D WORKS
LIGHTING SIMULATION:
EXPERIMENT WITH REVIT LIGHTING RENDERING FEATURES
INCLUDING USING THIRD PARTY LIGHTING APPS SUCH AS DIALUX FOR
ANALYSIS
BUILDING ENERGY INDEX:AUTOMATED CIRCUITING:
DEVELOPING AUTOMATED LIGHTING AND POWER CIRCUITING FOR
REVIT TO AID IN DESIGN
HEAT LOAD ANALYSIS:
EXPERIMENT WITH REVIT HEATING LOAD ANALYSIS FEATURES TO
AUTOMATE THE CALCULATIONS.
