Classification
Uniclass 2015 is a unified classification for the UK industry covering all construction sectors.
Definitions
Over 5,700 construction definitions for level of detail and information.
Product data templates
Standardised templates for manufacturers' product information.
Wood strips and boards are described by characteristics such as supplied by, voc emissions and species. An example use may be within a direct-fixed wood floor system.

Complete this electronic spreadsheet to ensure that your Softwood strips product information meets the requirements of Level 2 BIM. This is important as it will enable your customers to select, specify and use your products within the BIM environment. Once you have completed this template you can host it on your own website or distribute it to your customers. Please note that we do not host completed product data templates within the BIM Toolkit.
Requirement
Visual information to provide general principles of the design. Showing arrangement of external surfacing materials, and key project criteria to suit a client’s brief. General descriptions would be expected to communicate principles of materiality, scope, colour and context. Expect strategic co-ordination with other professions, such as architects and engineers (civils & highways), to show general principles of the design.
Purpose of information
To provide a visual representation of proposals at a Concept Stage and support general spatial co-ordination.
The above illustration is for Visual grade general veneer plywoods from the NBS section Wood-based boards and panels. This is indicative of the LOD requirements for Softwood strips.
Requirement
Visual information to provide developed principles of the design to a greater level of detail. Developed coordination between relevant professions, such as architects and civil engineers. Visual development showing co-ordination for general area and primary relationships between other elements of the external works construction.
Purpose of information
To provide a visual representation of proposals, confirming brief for Technical Design stage supporting full spatial co-ordination.
The above illustrations are for Visual grade general veneer plywoods from the NBS section Wood-based boards and panels. This is indicative of the LOD requirements for Softwood strips.
Requirement
Information to be updated to production level of information and to link drawn information back to external works specification.
Purpose of information
To provide sufficient information for contractor to issue to sub-contractors and to refine the external works construction programme.
The above illustrations are for Visual grade general veneer plywoods from the NBS section Wood-based boards and panels. This is indicative of the LOD requirements for Softwood strips.
Requirement
Visual information to provide finalised set of information to support construction / installation. Visual representations showing final co-ordination between relevant professions, such as architects and engineers, for area and relationships between other elements of the external works construction. Typical installation details produced separately linked to model element and adjacent constructions. Information to be updated to reflect ‘Final Construction Issue’.
Purpose of information
To be updated during the construction process to reflect the final design, and to provide a future reference to sit alongside the O&M Manuals.
