  5. 4. Implementation of Level of Development for BIM Collaboration in Timber Building Subsystems Design: A Case Study of I-Joist Construction Elements

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Isabell Gustafsson; [2024]
    Keywords : BIM; I-Joist; LOD; Level of Development; Timber Building Subsystems;

    Abstract : Due to time, cost, and environmental challenges, wood has become a more common building material even for more complex buildings. Implementing the concept of Level of Development (LOD) on timber structures could provide a tool for BIM collaboration that may save cost and time, and in the early stages mediate wood as an available building material.
