Organizing the Development of a Building Information Model

A great issue of AECBytes was published today.

Jim Bedrick of Webcor Builders addresses the question of What to Model and How. His company is huge and are Vicosoftware Constructor users.

The article is typically brief, but it does point to a really useful web site.

Bedrick gets to the central point pretty quickly: Level of Detail (LOD) or what is appropriate to model and at what stage.

Better yet, the spreadsheet developed to create a project workflow is freely available as a download at this site:
