Complete this electronic spreadsheet to ensure that your Mechanical services control panels 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 developed principles of the design to a greater level of detail. Developed coordination between all professions. Visual development showing coordination for general size and primary relationships between different elements of the construction. Can form a brief for a specialist sub-contractor or fabricator to progress with their technical design, fabrication and installation. This would be expected to include critical dimensional coordination, performance requirements and qualities of finish.
Purpose of information
To provide a visual representation of proposals, confirming brief for technical Design stage supporting full spatial coordination.
The above illustrations are for Damper actuators from the NBS section Mechanical services controls, sensors and detectors. This is indicative of the LOD requirements for Mechanical services control panels.
Requirement
Visual information to provide fixed principles of the design supporting procurement. Developed coordination between all professions. Visual representations showing coordination for general size and relationships between different elements of the construction.
