Building Information Modeling (BIM): Exploring Level of Development (LOD) in Construction Projects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Level of Development (LOD) is a protocol to address the basic guidelines information of Building Information Modeling (BIM). LOD is created to identify specific content requirements of a BIM model elements at a given time. It is used to reduce the problem of inadequate information needed in projects. This paper aims to explore the implementation of LOD in projects using BIM in the construction industry. In order to do so, the definition, purposes and content of each level of LOD had been identified based on past literature. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with BIM consultants from the public and private sector. The findings revealed that the implementation of LOD is varied depending on the requirements of construction players. From the use of LOD, it helps construction players to get the information that they need for a specific purpose in various project phases. The use of LOD in projects using BIM shows the capability and the level of understanding of construction players in using BIM.

متن کاملImplementing building information modelling: a case study of the Barts and the London hospitals
We present a case study of a major contractor, Skanska, implementing BIM on two large hospital projects in the UK: the Saint Bartholomew and the Royal London. We argue that BIM is a set of practices or activities, rather than just a set of technologies, and describe the new ways of working that emerge through the implementation process. We focus on ways BIM activities were developed to bridge g...
