Building information modeling (BIM): exploring level of development (LOD) in construction projects

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 2014 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/6605/1/358.pdf Ahmad Latiffi, Aryani and Brahim, Juliana and Mohd, Suzila and Fathi, Mohamad Syazli (2014) Building information modeling (BIM): exploring level of development (LOD) in construction projects.
