Understanding the Level of Development (LOD) that BIMIT provides is essential for users to set accurate expectations for their projects. Below, we break down the specifics of the LOD that the Integrated Projects BIMIT product delivers:
LOD 200 Definition
LOD Specification: The Integrated Projects BIMIT product is designed to achieve a Level-of-Development (LOD) 200, as set forth by the BIM Forum and BIM International.
Element Accuracy: At LOD 200, the BIM accurately represents the placement and sizing of elements. This means that architectural and structural components will be positioned and sized correctly within the model.
Material and Specifications: The BIM at this level does not provide material information or specific details about construction elements. Furthermore, it does not claim to be of construction-grade accuracy.
Schematic-Design Level BIM
Design Classification: The Integrated Projects BIMIT product can be categorized as a schematic-design level BIM. This means that while it provides a detailed visual representation, it should not be used as a definitive guide for construction purposes.
Limitations on Accuracy: Due to the inherent limitations in point cloud registration and its accuracy when generated from devices like the Matterport Pro2 or Leica BLK360, no claims should be made that this product is construction-grade. For a comprehensive understanding, please refer to our "Product Limitations" section.
Industry-Standard Practices
Field Verification: It's important to note that the Scan-to-BIM product does not replace or eliminate the industry-standard practice of field verification. Regardless of the accuracy of the BIM, licensed design, engineering, and construction professionals should always conduct field verification to ensure the utmost precision.
BIMIT is a valuable tool in the design and planning phases, but it's crucial to understand its scope and limitations. If you have further questions about the LOD or any other aspect of our service, our support team is always available to assist.
