web20-2160 - Defining Realistic BIM Expectations from Your A/E/C Partners

Description

This presentation will dive deeper into the term Level of Development (LOD) as it relates to Building Information Modeling (BIM) content creation and what owners should be able to ask for from their A/E/C industry partners. There is no such thing as an "LOD xxx" model, so let's unpack: correct definitions for LOD, how it can help owners define their standards, what to ask for and how to ask for it, and what end-deliverable model content owners should expect to receive at Project Handover.

Learning Objectives: 

• Define Level of Development (LOD) and understand how LOD benefits owners for BIM Execution
  
• Explain how LOD is a benchmark for the creation of industry BIM standards and guidelines
• Describe how LOD creates a common language for project BIM deliverables
• Identify tangible examples of how the industry is using LOD to receive enhanced end deliverables.

Speaker(s):

• Alex Belkofer, CM-BIM, VDC Director, McCarthy Building Companies
