LOD 200 includes drawings with important information but not complete detailing.BIM LOD 250 Services (Moderate Level of Detail)
With BIM LOD 250 Services, we provide moderate or basic specification of architectural, structural, and MEP components. Specifics like exact connections, detailed material properties, or exact fabrication dimensions are not typically included in LOD 250.BIM LOD 300 Services (Design Development / Accurate Geometry)
With our BIM LOD 300 Services offering, we create detailed shop LOD Drawings to portray structural components graphically. We also integrate non-geometric information to improve model practicality. With LOD 300 drawings are detailed further into 3D models.BIM LOD 350 Services (Construction Documentation)
Silicon Valley provides BIM LOD 350 Services, including accurate BIM models and plans for on-site production with on-point material specifications. With LOD 350, we document the complete development process and coordinate multiple disciplines, plan scheduling, estimate costs, and perform quantity takeoffs.
BIM LOD 400 Services (Fabrication and Assembly)
At LOD 400 in BIM, we provide detailed BIM Models for accurate fabrication and effortless assembly. With BIM LOD 400 Services, we integrate production processes and develop element-level plans for fabrication and prefabrication. LOD 400 specifies fabrication and assembly
BIM LOD 450 Services
With BIM LOD 450 Services, Silicon Valley provides material quantity takeoffs, detailed components production and clear guidance on for on-site integration, Clash Detection and resolution, energy analysis, and performance simulation. By achieving LOD 450, AEC professionals can achieve clarity and overall project quality.
BIM LOD 500 Services (As-built / Facility Management)
BIM LOD 500 is the last and most detailed stage in designing structures. We include all critical information for the building's operation, maintenance, project lifespan, and future renovations. In LOD 500, we create exact detailing for As-Built purposes, smooth facility management and monitor the project’s lifecycle and performance.
