As-Built BIM Models (LOD 500)
BIM modelling services are the foundation of Building Information Modeling (BIM).
These services involve the creation, management, and manipulation of digital models, which are essential for the successful execution of construction projects.
Here’s an overview of the critical components of BIM modelling services:
1. Model Creation
2. Information Integration
3. Collaboration
4. Clash Detection
5. Visualization
Incorporating BIM modelling services into your project ensures a more streamlined, collaborative, and efficient construction process, with reduced risks and improved outcomes.
Reliable partner The world’s strongest engineering team is here to work for you, ensuring excellence and precision at every stage of your project
Strong reputation across Europe, the Middle East, and worldwide
At BIM Leaders LTD, we create highly accurate As-Built BIM Models at LOD 500 that reflect the actual, field-verified conditions of your constructed asset. These models are ideal for operations, maintenance, renovations, and facility management — offering a true digital twin of the built environment.
Our team collects real-world data from site surveys, laser scans, and construction updates to build an intelligent model that matches the final structure in every detail – including geometry, materials, systems, and asset metadata.

Why LOD 500 As-Built BIM Models Matter
Our LOD 500 (Level of Development) models are the highest fidelity representation in the BIM process. They serve as a single source of truth for building owners, asset managers, and FM teams.
What’s included:
-
Verified geometry and dimensions of all components
-
Equipment and system locations as installed
-
Real materials, specifications, and serial numbers
-
Integration with facility management (FM) systems
-
Support for digital twins, lifecycle planning, and renovations
-
Laser scan to BIM modeling (Scan-to-BIM)
As-built BIM models help avoid guesswork, streamline asset tracking, and reduce downtime in maintenance or future upgrades.
Contact BIM Leaders LTD today to digitize your built environment and gain full visibility of your asset’s lifecycle. With As-Built BIM from BIM Leaders LTD, you get more than a model — you get a long-term asset management tool.
FAQ
What is an LOD 500 As-Built BIM Model?
An LOD 500 BIM model is a complete and field-verified 3D representation of a built asset. It reflects the actual conditions, dimensions, and specifications of all architectural, structural, and MEP systems — as they were constructed.
When should I request an As-Built BIM Model?
As-built models are typically delivered at the end of construction. They are essential for project handover, operations and maintenance planning, legal documentation, and future renovations or retrofits.
What’s the difference between LOD 400 and LOD 500?
LOD 400 is used for fabrication and installation. LOD 500 includes verified data based on actual construction — incorporating any changes, site conditions, or field adjustments not captured during design.
Can you create LOD 500 models from laser scans?
Yes. We offer Scan-to-BIM services using point cloud data from 3D laser scanners, drones, or photogrammetry. This allows us to deliver ultra-precise LOD 500 models for existing buildings and complex structures.
Can LOD 500 BIM models support facilities management (FM) platforms?
Absolutely. Our As-Built BIM models can be delivered with full COBie (Construction-Operations Building Information Exchange) data, asset tagging, and system metadata — ready for integration into FM software like Archibus, Maximo, Planon, or custom platforms.
What industries benefit most from LOD 500 As-Built models?
LOD 500 BIM is essential for:
-
Hospitals and healthcare facilities
-
Universities and schools
-
Industrial plants and factories
-
Government and military buildings
-
Commercial real estate and retail chains
These models help with compliance, maintenance planning, space optimization, and lifecycle management.
How long does it take to deliver an As-Built BIM model?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the asset. A typical mid-size commercial building takes 2–4 weeks, including site scanning, modeling, and QA. We also offer fast-track delivery for time-sensitive handovers.
What input data do you need to create an As-Built BIM model?
We can work from:
-
Laser scan (point cloud) data
-
Construction redlines / markups
-
Photos and field notes
-
Existing 2D CAD drawings
-
Revit or IFC models requiring updates
We also offer a full Scan-to-BIM service if source data is unavailable.
Can you update an existing BIM model to LOD 500?
Yes. If you already have a Revit or IFC model at LOD 300 or 400, we can verify it against actual site conditions and upgrade it to LOD 500 using scan data or field verification. This saves time and ensures accuracy for future use.
