LOD – Level of Development – buildingSmart – BimFORUM

Job Order Contracting

The Level of Development (LOD) Specification is supposed to provide clarity and reliability with respect t0 Building Information Models (BIM/BIMs). On the good side, CSI UNIFORMAT II is used as a means of organization. LOD is intended to define characteristics for building systems relative to BIM elements.

Integrated project delivery method

Job Order Contracting

The JOC LEAN Integrated Project Delivery Method as well as, Integrated Project Delivery, IPD, and BIM, are dependent upon a CDE to drive collaboration and minimize error, omissions, and miscommunication. At detailed line item level, an example being the CSI Masterformat data architecture. This, of course, must change to BIM.
