EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For a detailed guide on the use of this Specification see User Guide below.
The Level of Development (LOD) Specification is a reference tool intended to improve the quality of communication among users of
Building Information Models (BIMs) about the characteristics of elements in models. The LOD Specification expands upon the LOD
schema developed by AIA Contract Documents for its E201 2022 BIM Exhibit for Sharing Models with Project Participants1 by
providing definitions and illustrations of BIM elements of different building systems at different stages of their development and use in
the design and construction process.
Building Information Modeling presents information about a construction project or structure in the form of three-dimensional graphical
representations of elements (e.g., doors, beams, etc.), which can be further associated with information about other characteristics of
those elements. It is possible for the graphical representation of an element, taken alone, to suggest that greater accuracy or intention
can be attributed to the element than is in fact the case. The AIA’s LOD Schema was developed to provide a more systematic way of
conveying the extent of reliance that may be placed on an element. Many participants in the design and construction process felt,
however, that the industry would benefit from a more detailed treatment of the AIA’s brief narrative definitions.
Discussions within the BIMForum led to the creation of a multi-disciplinary task force to develop and maintain the LOD Specification.
The LOD Specification is an organized collection of interpretations of the AIA’s LOD definitions describing input and information
requirements and providing graphical examples of the different levels of development of a broad variety of building element classes.
Users of the LOD Specification are cautioned that it does not prescribe the necessary levels of development for different steps in the
construction process. That determination is left to each project team. It is believed, however, that the availability of more precise
definitions will reduce the risks of miscommunication among members of project teams when the expectations for different stages in the
design and construction process are established, through easier identification of what each member of the team is expected to deliver
and greater predictability of the level of effort that is required to create each member’s deliverables.
The LOD Specification is organized by CSI Uniformat 2010 and Omniclass2, with the subclasses expanded to Level 4 (and in a few
cases to Level 5) to provide detail and clarity to the element definitions. Breakdown indices are also provided per Uniclass 20153, a UK
initiative that is gaining international acceptance. See BIMForum LOD Spec Part II, tab 3, for a Uniclass-to-Omniclass/Uniformat cross-
reference table.
The LOD Specification does not prescribe who the author of a particular component at a given LOD should be, as that will vary from
one project or firm to another. However, the document does provide a concise schematic means through the spreadsheet in Part II for
a project team to identify model element authors, again in the interest of improving communication among model users. In addition, the
LOD Specification Working Group has been working with software developers to provide a means within the software of tagging
individual elements within a model with their current LOD level.
The LOD Specification is intended as a reference standard, but is also intended to evolve as the use of BIM develops. The
Specification is updated annually, and previous versions are maintained on the BIMForum website (www.bimforum.org/lod). Users are
invited to provide comments and recommendations for consideration in future editions. These should be sent by email to
[email protected].

PREFACE TO THE 2023 EDITION

In order to incorporate lessons learned from 10 years of extensive use on real-world projects, the BIMForum LOD Working Group
undertook a major review and update of this Specification. The major thrust of the update is to resolve conflicts and improve
consistency and readability in the logic and format of the text and graphics. Very few changes were made in the actual requirements in
the Specification’s LOD narrative descriptions. The following are the major global adjustments:
• Elimination of nebulous terms. E.g., use of the term “major openings” has been replaced by a defined size. This size can
be modified through the use of the Notes function in Part II.
• Simplification. An example of this is the Interior Finishes section. In looking at the section as a whole it was realized that the
modeling needs were dictated by the thickness of the finish rather than the material. Thus requirements based on thickness
are defined for “C20 Interior Finishes”, and these requirements apply to all children of that heading.
• Defined Terms. This section has been added to succinctly define terms that have specialized meaning in this Spec. The
defined terms are in boldface where they appear in the LOD narrative descriptions.
• LOD Requirements. In the narrative descriptions of LOD requirements only items required to be included are listed. No
reference is made to items that are not required and no items have been listed as prohibited.
• Narrative Descriptions. These have been organized into lists of specific required items to facilitate use of the Spec as a
checklist.
• Non-geometric information. On the principle that any number of non-geometric attributes can be attached to a model
element of any LOD, non-geometric information is not addressed in Part I.
• Duplicated Content. The Spec was scrubbed for duplicated content – where found it was deleted or replaced with cross-
references

Evolution of the Level of Development (LOD) Definitions

AIA Effort
In 2008, the AIA published the first set of Level of Development definitions for AIA Document E202™-2008 Building Information
Modeling Protocol. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of the use of BIM, the AIA updated the LOD definitions for its G202-2013 Project
BIM Protocol Form and again, in collaboration with other industry organizations, for its E201-2022 BIM Exhibit for Sharing Models with
Project Participants,

BIMForum Effort
In 2011 BIMForum initiated the development of the LOD Specification and formed a working group comprising contributors from both
the design and construction sides of the major disciplines. To help further the standardization and consistent use of the LOD schema,
and to increase its usefulness as a foundation for collaboration, the AIA licensed BIMForum to utilize its latest LOD definitions in this
Specification. The BIMForum working group interpreted the AIA’s basic LOD definitions for each building system, and then compiled
examples to illustrate the interpretations. Because BIM is being put to an ever-increasing number of uses, the group decided that it was
beyond the initial scope to address all of them. Instead, the definitions were developed to address model element geometry, with three
of the most common uses in mind – quantity take-off, 3D coordination, and 3D control and planning. The group felt that in taking this
approach the interpretations would be complete enough to support other uses.
In working with the AIA definitions the working group identified the need for an LOD that would define model elements sufficiently
developed to enable detailed coordination between disciplines – e.g. clash avoidance/detection, layout, etc. The requirements for this
level are higher than those for 300, but not as high as those for 400, thus it was designated LOD 350. The 2022 AIA Digital Practice
documents include LOD 350.
The working group also decided that since the AIA’s definition of LOD 500 related only to field verification and thus had no impact on
modeling of elements the Specification would not develop interpretations for LOD 500.
In developing the system- and component-specific interpretations of the LODs the working group found it useful to define some
fundamental interpretations, adding some color and shade to the AIA’s definitions in order to guide the development of the specific
interpretations.
The LOD definitions included in the LOD Specification versions 2013 through 2021 are the definitions from the AIA 2013 suite of Digital
Practice documents plus the BIMForum’s definition of LOD 350 and minus the definition of LOD 500, along with the BIMForum’s
fundamental interpretations.

2022 LOD Definition Update

In December of 2021 a collaborative effort was convened to incorporate lessons learned from almost a decade of practical application
of the LOD framework into an updated set of LOD definitions. The following organizations were represented:
• AIA Contract Documents (ACD)
• American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHTO)
• American Institute of Architects (AIA)
• Canada’s Integrated Project Delivery Alliance (IPDA)
• National BIM Standard (NBIMS)
• National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS)

Basically, the group ratified the BIMForum interpretations and folded them into the new definitions, also simplifying and clarifying the
language. As a result of this outcome the existing narrative and graphic interpretations of specific systems and components included in
the 2013-2021 versions of the LOD Spec remain valid.
Some notable tweaks:
1. The sentence “Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Element” has been removed from all definitions.
Since non-graphic information in any quantity and degree of accuracy can be attached to a model element of any LOD, the
issue is addressed with a single over-arching statement in AIA E201-2022. This approach will be followed in future versions of
the LOD Spec.
2. While the BIMForum 2013 interpretations assigned space-reservation volumes to LOD 200, the 2022 LOD 200 definition
requires the element to show recognizable geometry. Thus space-reservation volumes are assigned to LOD 100.
3. The group developed a more succinct definition of LOD 500, making it clear that this LOD applies to existing elements rather
than the “as-designed” elements addressed by LODs 100-400. The definition also requires that the accuracy of an LOD 500
element must be specified by some means other than LOD 100-400. The BIMForum will be collaborating with other industry
organizations to develop a schema to specify this accuracy.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Many thanks to all the individuals and organizations who reviewed and contributed to this work, and to the following industry association
representatives and co-chairs of the major discipline subgroups who made this document possible:

LOD SPEC WORKING GROUP

The widespread industry adoption of the BIMForum LOD Spec is primarily due to the broad range of built-environment industry
knowledge, perspectives, and expertise that generates and maintains it. The component-specific interpretations of the fundamental
LOD definitions contained in the Spec are not developed solely by experts in that system, but through a collaborative, consensus-based
approach bringing to bear design, construction, and operations expertise from all disciplines.

Version: 2023

DEFINITIONS AND NOTES

Level of Development vs. Level of Detail

LOD is sometimes interpreted as Level of Detail rather than Level of Development. This Specification uses the concept of Level of
Development. There are important differences.
Level of Detail is essentially how much detail is included in the model element. Level of Development is the degree to which the
element’s geometry has been thought through – the degree to which project team members may rely on the information when using the
model.
It is important to note that the international terminology regarding Level of Development and Level of Detail varies. Some countries
refer to the Level of Development concept defined within this specification as the Level of Detail and use different numbering systems.

Fundamental LOD Definitions4

LOD Requirements are Cumulative. For a given element requirements for each LOD (except LOD 500 – see below) include the
requirements for all lower LODs.

LOD 100
The Model Element may be graphically represented in the Model with a symbol or other generic representation, but does not satisfy the
requirements for LOD 200. Information related to the Model Element (e.g., cost per square foot, tonnage of HVAC, etc.) can be derived
from other Model Elements.
BIMForum Interpretation: LOD 100 elements are not necessarily geometric representations. Examples are information attached to
other model elements: symbols showing the existence of a component but not its shape, size, or precise location; or space reservation
volumes. In essence, if information about an element can be derived from the model but the element is not at LOD 200 it is said to be
at LOD 100. Any information derived from LOD 100 elements must be considered approximate.

LOD 200
The Model Element is generically and graphically represented within the Model with approximate quantity, size, shape, location, and
orientation.
BIMForum interpretation: LOD 200 elements are generic placeholders but are recognizable as the components they represent (e.g. a
pump, a light fixture, a beam, etc.). Any information derived from LOD 200 elements must be considered approximate.

LOD 300
The Model Element, as designed, is graphically represented within the Model such that its quantity, size, shape, location, and
orientation can be measured.
BIMForum Interpretation. LOD 300 elements are sufficiently developed to fully convey the design intent for the represented item. Note
that while neither the LOD definitions nor this Specification specify who models the element, designers rarely generate model elements
higher than 300. See interpretation of LOD 350 below.

4The LOD definitions included in this Specification represent the updated language that appears in AIA Contract Document E201-2022,
BIM Exhibit for Sharing Models with Project Participants, Where Model Versions May be Enumerated as a Contract Document. The
LOD definitions are used by permission. Copyright © 2022. ACD Operations, LLC. All rights reserved.

Version: 2023

LOD 350
The Model Element, as designed, is graphically represented within the Model such that its quantity, size, shape, location, orientation,
and interfaces with adjacent or dependent Model Elements can be measured.
BIMForum Interpretation. LOD 350 is intended to define requirements for model elements that are sufficiently developed to support
construction-level coordination. This LOD usually requires craft knowledge, thus the caveat in the LOD 300 interpretation above that
designers rarely generate elements at LODs higher than 300. It should be remembered, though, that neither the LOD definitions nor
this Specification specify who models the element – if a design team has craft knowledge available they might choose to develop
elements to LOD 350 or higher.

LOD 400
The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model with detail sufficient for fabrication, assembly, and installation.
BIMForum Interpretation. Essentially LOD 400 describes a model element developed to the level of shop drawings – in most cases, if a
project’s specifications call for shop drawings of an item, the project team might model the item at LOD 400. Thus most models contain
few LOD 400 elements.

LOD 500
The Model Element is a graphic representation of an existing or as-constructed condition developed through a combination of
observation, field verification, or interpolation. The level of accuracy shall be noted or attached to the Model Element.
BIMForum Interpretation. LOD 500 does not indicate a higher level than LOD 400, rather it indicates that the element’s geometry is
determined through observation of an existing item rather than design of a future item. The LOD 500 definition requires that the model
element’s accuracy be specified – BIMForum recommends USIBD’s Level of Accuracy (LOA) Specification for this purpose.

Defined Terms
The definitions below are not necessarily the dictionary definition of the term. Rather they describe specialized use of the term in this
Specification. These terms are shown in bold face when used in the body of this document.

Accurate. Conforming exactly with the intended dimension.

Many Landscape Architecture elements are subject to growth, erosion, and other similar natural processes, and therefore application of
the term “accurate” to these elements differs somewhat from its application to manufactured or constructed elements. For the purposes
of this Specification “accurate” for these natural elements denotes a sufficient level of exactness to communicate design intent, but
does not necessarily imply exact dimensions.
Actual. The dimension needed for construction-level coordination. E.g., in defining an opening in a precast wall the precast plant must
know the real dimensions of the rough opening.
Nominal. The dimension that is available at the design phase. E.g., the dimensions of the opening that is automatically generated by
the model authoring tool when a door is placed in a wall. Note that these dimensions will usually differ from the rough opening
dimensions.
Element envelope. The exterior surfaces of the element. This term is used at both LOD 200 and 300 – at 200 the surfaces may be
approximate but must encompass the extents of the element, at 300 they must be accurate.
Penetration Elements. Elements that are used to reinforce or otherwise augment a point where one element passes through another,
e.g., a pipe sleeve in a concrete wall. Penetration elements are addressed under the penetrating element – e.g., pipe sleeves are
addressed in the sections on piping.

General Notes
Appurtenances. This heading is used by Uniformat to indicate items that may or may not be attached to other elements under the
same parent heading (e.g., waterproofing, insulation) – as such each Supplementary Components section will include a wide range of
elements. In most cases these elements are not modeled. If it is deemed necessary to model any of the elements this can be
addressed in the Part II template by either adding one or more child lines or using the notes function.
Supplementary Components. Similar to Appurtenances.

USER GUIDE

0 Overview

0.1 Description
The Level of Development (LOD) Specification is a reference that enables practitioners in the AEC Industry to specify and articulate
with a high degree of clarity the content and reliability of Building Information Models (BIMs) at various stages in the design and
construction process.
The Specification is a detailed interpretation of the LOD schema developed by AIA Contract Documents for its E201 2022 BIM Exhibit
for Sharing Models with Project Participants defining and illustrating characteristics of model elements of different building systems at
different Levels of Development, organized according to CSI Uniformat 20105. Its intent is to help explain the LOD framework and
standardize its use so that it becomes more useful as a communication tool.
For Level of Development Definitions See Fundamental LOD Definitions above.

BIM as a Communication Tool

The LOD schema addresses several issues that arise when a BIM is used as a communication or collaboration tool, i.e., when
someone other than the author extracts information from it:
1) During the design process, building systems and components progress from a vague conceptual idea to a precise description.
In the past, there has been no simple way to designate where a model element is along this path. The author knows, but
others often don’t.
2) It’s easy to misinterpret the precision at which an element is modeled. Hand drawings range from pen strokes on a napkin to
hard lines with dimensions called out, and the precision of the drawing can be inferred from its appearance. In a model
though, a generic component placed approximately can look exactly the same as a specific component located precisely, so
we need something besides appearance to tell the difference.
3) It is possible to infer or extract information from a BIM that the author doesn’t intend – unconfirmed dimensions can be
measured with precision, assembly information often exists before it’s been finalized, etc. In the past, this issue has been
sidestepped with all-encompassing disclaimers that basically say, “Since some of the information in the model is unreliable,
you may not rely on any of it.” The LOD framework allows model authors to clearly state the reliability of given model
elements, so the concept becomes “Since some of the information in the model is unreliable, you may only rely on it for what I
specifically say you can.”
4) In a collaborative environment, where people other than the model author are depending on information from the model in
order to move their own work forward, the design work plan takes on high importance – it is necessary for the model users to
know when information will be available in order to plan their work. The LOD framework facilitates this.
The LOD Framework addresses these issues by providing an industry-developed standard to describe the state of development of
various systems, assemblies, and components within a BIM. This standard enables consistency in communication and execution by
facilitating the detailed definition of BIM milestones and deliverables.

0.1.1 LODs and Design Phase

The LODs are not defined by design phases. Rather, design phase completion, as well as any other milestone or deliverable, can be
defined through the LOD language. There are several important reasons for this approach:

1) There is currently no detailed standard for the design phases. Many architects have created in-house standards, but these
differ from one firm to the next, and even within a single firm the requirements are sometimes adjusted to the needs of a
project.
2) Building systems progress from concept to precise definition at different rates, so at any given time different elements will
be at different points along this progression. At completion of the Schematic Design phase, for example, the model will
include many elements at LOD 200, but will also include many at LOD 100, as well as some at LOD 300, and possibly
even LOD 400.

0.1.2 LODs and Model Definition

There is no such thing as an “LOD ### model.” As previously noted, project models at any stage of delivery will invariably contain
elements and assemblies at various levels of development. As an example, it is not logical to require an “LOD 200 model” at the
completion of the schematic design phase. Instead, the “100% SD Model” will contain modeled elements at various levels of
development.

0.2 Intent
0.2.1 Not a Set of Requirements
The Specification is not a set of requirements as to what is modeled when or by whom. Rather it is a language by which users can
define these requirements for their own firms or projects. This clear articulation allows model authors to define what their models can be
relied on for, and allows downstream users to clearly understand the usability and the limitations of models they are receiving.
To accomplish the Specification’s intent, its primary objectives are:
1) To help teams, including owners, to specify BIM deliverables and to get a clear picture of what will be included in a BIM
deliverable
2) To help design managers explain to their teams the information and detail that needs to be provided at various points in the
design process, and to track progress of their models
3) To allow downstream users to rely on specific information in models they receive from others.
4) To provide a standard that can be referenced by contracts and BIM execution plans.

0.2.2 Complements a BIM Execution Plan (BEP)

This Specification does not replace a project BEP, but rather is intended to be used in conjunction with such a plan, providing a means
of defining models for specific information exchanges, milestones in a design work plan, and deliverables for specific functions.

0.3 Background
0.3.1 AIA Effort
In 2008, the AIA published its first set of Level of Development definitions in AIA Document E202™-2008 Building Information Modeling
Protocol. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of the use of BIM, the AIA evaluated the E202–2008, including the LOD definitions. The
result is the updated and reconfigured Digital Practice documents, AIA E203™–2013, Building Information Modeling and Digital Data
Exhibit, AIA G201™–2013, Project Digital Data Protocol Form, and AIA G202™–2013, Project Building Information Modeling Protocol
Form, which are accompanied by a detailed guide document entitled Guide and Instructions to the AIA Digital Practice Documents. The
AIA’s updated Digital Practice documents include revised LOD definitions.

0.3.2 BIMForum Effort

In 2011 the BIMForum initiated the development of this LOD Specification and formed a working group comprising contributors from
both the design and construction sides of the major disciplines. To help further the standardization and consistent use of the LOD
schema, and to increase its usefulness as a foundation for collaboration, the AIA licensed the BIMForum to utilize its latest LOD
definitions in this Specification. The BIMForum working group first interpreted the AIA’s basic LOD definitions for each building system,
and then compiled examples to illustrate the interpretations. Because BIM is being put to an ever-increasing number of uses, the group

decided that it was beyond the initial scope to address all of them. Instead, the definitions were developed to address model element
geometry, with three of the most common uses in mind – quantity take-off, 3D coordination and 3D control and planning. The group felt
that in taking this approach the interpretations would be complete enough to support other uses.

1 Using the Specification

1.1 Details
1.1.1 Order of Precedence
The body of this Specification expands on the Fundamental Definitions as they apply to specific building systems and sub-systems. In
the event of any conflict, more specific expansions take precedence over less specific expansions and Fundamental Definitions, e.g.
the expanded definitions for C1010 take precedence over those for C10, which in turn take precedence over the Fundamental
Definitions.

1.1.2 LOD Definitions as Minimum Requirements

The LODs provide five snapshots of the progression of an element from conceptual to specified – there are many steps in this
progression between the defined LODs. The LOD definitions, then, should be considered minimum requirements – i.e. an element has
progressed to a given LOD only when all the requirements stated in the definition have been met.

1.1.3 LOD Definitions are Cumulative

For a given element each LOD definition includes the requirements of all previous LODs. Thus, for an element to qualify for LOD 300 it
must meet all the requirements for 200 and 100 as well as those stated in the LOD 300 definition.

1.1.4 Model Element Author

This document does not prescribe who the author of a particular component at a given LOD should be – the sequence of responsibility
for modeling various systems will vary from one project to another. To accommodate this variation this document defers to the concept
of Model Element Author (MEA) as defined in the AIA E203-2013: “The Model Element Author is the entity (or individual) responsible
for managing and coordinating the development of a specific Model Element to the LOD required for an identified Project milestone,
regardless of who is responsible for providing the content in the Model Element." 6

1.1.5 2D Supplementary Drawings

In current practice models are often supplemented with 2D information such as detail drawings. This Specification does not address
this supplementation, but rather deals only with what is modeled in 3D and non-graphic information associated with the modeled
elements.

1.2 Project-Specific Information

As mentioned in the Overview above, this Specification is intended to be used in conjunction with a project BIMXP. Many information
needs will vary from project to project, even for identical elements. This kind of information is therefore not included in the LOD
definitions specified here, but rather is left to be addressed in individual BIMXPs. The following are some notable examples.

1.2.1 Size Thresholds

In most projects, a determination is made to model certain elements only if they are over a specified size – e.g. conduit less than 1/2”
(10 mm) diameter is not modeled. These size thresholds do not consistently correspond to certain LODs, and they vary from project to

project. Thus, they are not specified in the LOD definitions but rather in the project’s BIMXP, for example using the “Notes” cells in the
Model Element Table of the AIA G202-2013.

1.3 Using the Specification with a BEP

Most BEPs include a section that details milestones as well as information exchanges – models to be produced to exchange specific
information at specific points in a specific BIM use. In most cases, though, current practice is to accompany these models with the
common “for reference only” disclaimer, diluting the effectiveness of the exchange. Referencing this Specification in the BIMXP and
using it to concisely define the milestone and information exchange models brings many efficiencies to the process – among them:

1.3.1 Reliance
As noted above (see “BIM as a Communication Tool”), a major problem with allowing others to rely on a BIM is that it can contain
information the author doesn’t intend. By defining a model through the LOD Specification the author can limit reliance to only what
he/she specifically states.

1.3.2 Multiple uses

Much model information is common across several information exchanges. This Specification facilitates the definition of models that
will support multiple exchanges.

1.3.3 Efficient sequencing

The development of models as the design and construction process progresses follows logical sequences – much information
depending on the prior development of other information. The definition of milestones, information exchanges, and other deliverables
through this Specification facilitates the orderly sequencing of models to align with efficient development of information.

1.3.4 Avoidance of over-modeling

The LOD Specification facilitates the application of a pull-planning process to the modeling effort, limiting the development of model
elements and information to that which the team identifies as useful.
Note that the definition and sequencing of models usually cannot be set in stone when the BIMXP is first developed. In most cases the
modeling plan must evolve as the project progresses.

1.4 Implementation of the Specification

Currently, two methods of implementation have been developed.

1.4.1 Rely on the Model Element Table

Project team refers to a Model Element Table such Article 3.3 of the AIA G202-2013 or Part II of this Specification for the LODs of
model elements. In this method, all elements referred to in a given Model Element Table line item are assumed to be at the LOD stated
there. E.g. if the table lists interior doors as LOD 200 for a given model, all interior doors within the model are assumed to be at LOD
200.

1.4.2 Include LOD Designations as Attributes of Individual Model Elements

All elements within the model are provided with two attributes – Current LOD (the actual LOD of the element) and Target LOD (the LOD
specified for that element in the Model Element Table). Elements default to a Current LOD of 100 or 200 as appropriate, and this
attribute is elevated as the element is more fully developed. This method offers more flexibility and reliability, allowing differentiation
between individual elements within a single model element table line item. Several software offerings provide the functionality of
highlighting elements of various LODs or elements whose Current LOD is less than the Target LOD.

2 ORGANIZATION OF THE SPECIFICATION

2.1 Geometric and Attribute Information

To facilitate use of this Specification Attachment 1, Model Development Specification (MDS) has been provided. This attachment is a
set of spreadsheets that can be used to collect and correlate LOD Information for a specific project.
A model element can contain two types of information: a) the element’s geometry and b) associated numeric and/or textual attributes.
To address these types of information this Specification contains two parts:

2.1.1 Part I: Element Geometry

Part I consists of narrative descriptions and illustrations of specific model elements at each LOD. Part I forms the bulk of this
document.

2.1.2 Part II: Associated Attribute Information

Part II is contained in Attachment 1, a workbook that begins with the Model Element Table which mirrors the layout of the Model
Element Table in the AIA G202-2013 Building Information Modeling Protocol Form, and can be referenced by that document. The
Model Element Table references Attribute Tables that contain attribute information for various building systems.

2.1.3 Model Element Table

Figure 1. Model Element Table

2.1.4 Building Systems

The rows of the Model Element Table (Figure 1) are building elements listed in accordance with CSI Uniformat 2010. The table also
lists Relevant Attribute Tables for each system, referring to the tabs containing attribute information for the associated system(s). If
desired, users can add Attribute Tables for specific line items.

2.1.5 Milestones/Deliverables
The table includes columns for defining the LODs for various milestones within a project. Each milestone column has three sub-
columns: Level of Development (LOD), Model Element Author (MEA), and Notes. The table in Attachment 1 shows standard milestones
for the completion of the traditional design phases as well as examples of Project-Specific Milestones for interim reviews, specific

deliverables, BIM-Use information exchanges, etc. Users are encouraged to modify and add to these milestones as necessary. Once
the milestones for a project have been determined, they can be re-ordered into a logical sequence as in Figure 2.

2.1.6 Attribute Tables

Figure 3. Typical Attribute Table

2.1.7 Attribute Table Anatomy

Attribute Tables consist of two parts.
1) Part 1, Attribute Description, lists Attributes relevant to the associated building system(s).
• Attributes are grouped into two categories as shown – Baseline and Additional.

o The Baseline is the suggested list of attributes to be populated when no other requirements are known (BIM Uses,
specific deliverables, etc.).
o The Additional category may be thought of as a “shopping list” – a list of possible attributes the team may want to
consider.
• Data Types. For simplicity, the published Attribute Tables use only the following data types, but users setting up data for
use in specific software may want to add others.
Text An alphanumeric string not intended for use in
calculations. E.g. room numbers are often considered
text (even where they only contain numbers) since the
numbers are not useful for calculations.
Number A numerical value that can be entered directly into a
program that will use it as input to calculations. Note
that no distinction is made here between integers and
real numbers.
Logical Boolean in computer science terminology. A binary
yes/no indication. Values for this type can be T or F, 1 or
0.
Date ISO format is used in these tables: yyyy-mm-dd
Time ISO format is used in these tables: hh:mm:ss
Datetime ISO format is used in these tables: yyyy-mm-
ddThh:mm:ss

2) Part 2, Milestones, is used to mark the attributes required for specific milestones and deliverables. The tables in Attachment 1
include example milestones, but users will customize the tables by copying the milestones they created for the Model Element
Table.

2.1.8 MEPF Attribute Tables

The MEPF attribute tables use a somewhat different format than other sections, since components from
multiple systems might be used to make up a specific element. For example, an air handler is primarily a D30
HVAC element, but can include plumbing, fire protection and electrical elements as well.
The MEP Systems tabs are grouped into two types:
• System component elements: D20 Plumbing, D30 HVAC, D40 Fire Protection and D50 Electrical.
• System distribution elements such as ducts, pipes, and cables: D Air Distribution, D Fluid Gas
Distribution and D Electrical Distribution.
MEPF attribute tables are broken down into two main sections
• Global: Attributes that are common to all elements within the table
• Item-Specific: The suggested set of additional attributes that are specific to an individual type of
element. In many tables, the Individual elements are organized into a hierarchy of classes and sub-classes.
In these cases, the attributes applicable to a specific element include those listed for the element itself plus
those listed in any of the classes above it in the hierarchy. E.g. as Figure 4 shows, the attributes for an oil
meter include all those shown in bold.
Note: System Component elements use both the Global and Item-Specific attributes sections, while System
Distribution elements use only the Item-Specific attribute section.

2.1.9 Using the Attribute Tables

There are many ways to use the Attribute Tables – three are shown here.
1) Project teams adopt the Baseline attribute lists. The pre-populated correlation between Attributes and LODs represents
current practices of proficient BIM users in the AEC industry.
2) Project teams create a custom correlation between LODs and Attribute population requirements. In this case the project team
would edit the LOD Profile section to reflect the specific requirements of the project.
3) Project teams create new, project specific milestones and define Attribute population requirements in the Milestones
sections. This approach will give project teams the greatest flexibility for defining Attribute population requirements.
Note that the element attribute author can be entered in the LOD profile instead of an “x” to indicate who is responsible for providing the
information.
