LOD - A Practical Approach
01 July, 2022 08:33 PM
In this Digital Age, we see the construction industry working its way through BIM as the detail level can range from a broad geometric representation to creating an accurate as-built model. For a project to execute successfully everyone must speak the same language. It is very important to have a better way of communicating the requirements between Project Owners, Designers, Contractors, etc., and that better way is known as the Level of Detail. LOD is a way where disciplines can communicate their requirements to one another.
The Level of Detail (LOD) is to define the amount and degree of building information that needs to be placed in a BIM Model. This not only includes graphical objects or physical characteristics but also the data associated with the objects. In short, Level of Detail (LOD) is a framework that is used to specify the development of the BIM Model and this helps in communication and coordination with all the project teams.
LOD creates a standardized definition of what completion means and eliminates chances of discrepancies associated with project completion. Using LOD, teams working under different disciplines can communicate with each other in a better way with greater clarity. LOD enhances clarity in design by making use of advanced techniques and technology.
