Building Component Catalogue with Level

of Development Specification (LOD)

Version 3.1 / September 2016
Foreword

The building component catalogue has been in use in many of
our building projects and also by external parties, e.g.
Københavns Ejendomme1. At the back of the catalogue a
Model Progress Specification (MPS) is available. This describes
the needed information for each building element at a given
time in the project process.
The motivation for this catalogue derives from the great
challenge in use of BIMs where it often is unclear what
information must be provided at a certain milestones. The
catalogue has found inspiration in Level of Development
(LOD), developed by the American Institute of Architects
(AIA).
The building component catalogue will be integrated with a
Danish, Norwegian, American and English standard as soon as
it is available in a condition suitable for the implementation in
construction.
internal use and for our partners. However, we would like
to make it available to the industry. It may be used by
and be an inspiration to the construction industry as long
as the source is scknowledged.
We welcome comments and suggestions for
improvements. The catalogue is continuously updated,
while we use.
Inquiries regarding this building component catalogue
should be addressed to vdc@mth.dk.
Fully or partly reuse of this catalogue is only allowed after
written approval from MT Højgaard. Contact MT Højgaard
vdc@mth.dk.

The purpose is:

• To assist project participants in our construction
projects to define the content to be included in a BIM
delivery, and to get a clear picture of the contents of a BIM
delivery.
• To help design managers and BIM coordinators in MT
Højgaard to communicate the information to be includede
in a BIM model at a given time.
• To provide a reference for contracts and project’s BIM
strategy.

The building component catalogue including a specification for

level of information, is targeted for MT Højgaard projects for

MT HØJGAARD A/S - BUILDING COMPONENT CATALOGUE - FOREWORD 2

Reading guide

This building component catalogue describes how MT
Højgaard defines the geometri (LOD, Level of Development)
for the selected building parts and specifies suggestions for
properties (LOI, Level of Information) of the individual
building components. More properties can be added as needed
or building components can be the inspiration for another.
LOD is increasing, where LOD100 represents the lowest level
and LOD500 represents the highest level.
This building component catalogue is a reference book that
can be used together with the Model Progress Specification
(MPS) in relation to milestones (e.g. preliminary design,
detailed design, as built). Firstly described are the properties
relevant to calculation, scheduling and energy calculations.
Illustration: Displays the guiding geometry of the object
at a given level of information.
LOD: Describes the geometry in words.
LOI: Describes the properties that an object has at a
given LOD level. Properties of a building element at a
given LOD level are the described characteristics including
the properties from the previous LOD level. This means
that the previous properties are included automatically.
In general, definitions of systems describe where
components are included such as drains on a sewer where
the drains level of level is defined at an additional LOD
building card.

This building component catalogue is primarily used in

construction, and civil works projects. This catalogue is also
published in Danish, Norwegian, German and Icelandic.

For each building component on the different levels of

development three aspects of a given building component is
described: illustration, LOD (geometry) and LOI (properties).

Object (or structure) is graphically represented in the
model by symbols (e.g. by a line or surface) or
generic (i.e. dimensions and quantities are not
defined). This represents the overall geometric
expression of the object and the relations to its
surroundings.
Object (or structure) is graphically represented as a
generic object with approximate quantities, sizes,
dimensions, location and orientation. The function of
the objects are described.
At this point, the model will be divided into a number
of discipline models.
Object (or structure) is graphically represented as a
specific object representing quantities, sizes,
dimensions, locationand orientation. Object’s overall
function, performance and material are described.
