Legal status of the Design Model to construction:
Binding: Imposing a legal (contractual) obligation between the author/s and recipient/s. Used in this context to mean a Design Model that represents what has to be constructed under the terms of the contract.
Informational: A Design Model that conveys non-binding information relevant to the project that may be useful to its recipient/s. No formal claims are made about its accuracy and it is provided on an ‘as is’ basis.
Reference: A Design Model that is intended to be used for ‘read-only’ purposes such as recording model development at different stages of the project or clash detection. Once Design Models are designated ‘Reference’, they shall not be edited further. Reference Design Models can be used as the basis for bid preparation but cannot form part of the contract documents. A model has to be designated ‘Binding’ for this purpose. Reference models shall be sufficiently accurate for their intended purpose.
Reuse: A Design Model authorised by its authors for modification or further development by its recipients.
Lead BIM Coordinator A person who performs an intermediary role between the BIM Manager and the modelling team.
Level of Development (LOD)
The American Institute of Architects Document E202 – 2008 Building Information Modeling protocol Exhibit defines Level of Development as follows: “The level(s) of Development (LOD) describes the level of completeness to which a Model Element is developed”.
NATSPEC National BIM Guide The 2022 NATSPEC National BIM Guide is a suite of documents that facilitate nationally consistent BIM implementation, representing a substantial resource for anyone planning a project based on BIM and collaborative work practices such as Integrated Project Delivery (IPD).
Revit 5D Cost Management Terminology:
Category: Revit grouping. Similar to ANZSMM Trade Sections, AIQS Cost Plan Elements.
Family Type: Revit grouping. Similar to BQ Main Heading (MH).
Type / material: Revit grouping. Similar BQ Full Description (FD).
Element: A single piece of 3D component.
ElementId: A unique numeric identifier assigned to each element.
Type Properties: Also know as Information Container (ISO 19650). Contain all element data parameter, i.e. material type, dimensions, cost, etc.
Cost parameter: It is located within the Type Properties. Use this as build-up rate of each element to derive instant Design to Cost total.
