BIMForum Releases Level of Development Specification

The BIMForum, released the first-of-its kind standard, establishing a means for defining how complete Building Information Models (BIMs) are at different stages of the design and construction process. The new standard, known as the Level of Development (LOD) Specification, was developed under an agreement with the AIA and uses the fundamental LOD definitions developed by the AIA for its G202-2013 Building Information Modeling Protocol (the updated version of the E202-2008). The Specification allows everyone involved with construction projects to clearly articulate how detailed model elements for the different building systems are or need to be throughout the design and construction process.
