How BIM helps sustainability in projects

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has revolutionized the construction industry with its ability to optimize the design, construction and management of buildings throughout their life cycle. If you are just beginning to familiarize yourself with BIM or want to gain a deeper understanding of the process, here are answers to the most frequently asked questions about […]

BIM Level of Development | LOD 100, 200, 300, 350, 400, 500

The Level of Development (LOD) is a crucial set of specifications for the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry that enables professionals to clearly document, articulate and detail the BIM. Funciona como un estándar que define los niveles de desarrollo de los elementos en un modelo BIM, lo que facilita la colaboración y la ejecución […]
