LOD 500 as-built modeling — field-verified record models for closeout and turnover.
BimCon Solutions delivers LOD 500 as-built Revit models verified against actual field conditions, with deviation reporting, 2D record sets, and owner closeout packages.LOD 500 is the field-verified as-built level of development in the BIMForum LOD Specification — geometry confirmed against what was actually installed, not what was designed or fabricated. We scan, verify, and update the model so the record matches the building.

Why closeout records fail
A model that was never verified in the field is not an as-built.
Most projects hand owners a coordination or fabrication model relabeled as a record set. Nothing was checked against installed conditions, so the first renovation, tenant fit-out, or equipment replacement starts with a re-survey.
- The turnover model reflects design or fabrication intent, not installed reality.
- Field changes and substitutions were never captured back into the model.
- There is no deviation report proving the record model matches the building.
- Redlines live in PDFs and superintendent notebooks instead of the model.
- FM and CMMS onboarding stalls because asset data is incomplete.
- Owner closeout requirements name LOD 500 but nobody scoped the verification.
How we deliver LOD 500
Verify in the field, then update the record model.
LOD 500 is defined by verification, not by geometric detail. We close the loop between the coordinated model and the installed condition with a documented verification pass.
Pillar 01
Closeout verification scan
Survey-grade laser scanning of installed conditions — structure, MEP, equipment, and accessible above-ceiling systems.
Pillar 02
Model reconciliation
The coordinated or fabrication model is updated against the cloud and field redlines until geometry matches what was built.
Pillar 03
Documented tolerances
A color-mapped deviation report per element class proves the as-built record is verified, not assumed.
Definition
What LOD 500 actually means.
The BIMForum LOD Specification defines LOD 500 as a field-verified representation of the installed condition — verification is the defining attribute, not extra geometric detail.
LOD 350 — coordination
Elements modeled with the interfaces needed to coordinate between trades and run clash detection.
LOD 400 — fabrication
Fabrication-level detail: spools, hangers, connections, and shop-floor-ready assemblies. This is the fabrication tier.
LOD 500 — field-verified as-built
Elements verified against installed conditions in the field and updated to match. LOD 500 is a record model, never a fabrication deliverable.
Where it belongs
LOD 500 happens at closeout, after installation, and feeds owner turnover, facilities management, and future renovation work.
Deliverables
What ships with an LOD 500 engagement.
- LOD 500 as-built Revit model, field-verified against installed conditions
- Color-mapped deviation and tolerance report per element class
- Registered point cloud (RCP / E57) linked into the record model
- 2D record sets — floor plans, RCPs, MEP risers, equipment schedules
- Asset and equipment data formatted for CMMS/FM onboarding
- Owner closeout package with LOD matrix and verification methodology
How it fits
Where LOD 500 sits next to our other services.
MEP Detailing (LOD 400)
Our MEP Detailing service produces LOD 400 fabrication models, spool drawings, and hanger schedules. LOD 500 picks up after installation and verifies that model against the field.
As-Built Documentation
For full-building record documentation — architectural, structural, and MEP — the As-Built Documentation service is the parent engagement LOD 500 modeling runs inside.
3D Laser Scanning
The verification pass starts with a closeout scan. If your team already has a cloud, we can verify against it instead of remobilizing.
Digital Twins
A verified LOD 500 record model is the correct geometric foundation for an operational digital twin.
Process
How an LOD 500 as-built engagement runs.
- Step 01
Scope and LOD matrix
Agree which systems require field verification, the acceptance tolerance, and the closeout deliverable list.
- Step 02
Closeout verification capture
Scan installed conditions before ceilings close where possible; collect field redlines and change documentation.
- Step 03
Reconciliation and QA
Update the model against the cloud and redlines, then run the deviation report against the agreed tolerance.
- Step 04
Record set and turnover
Publish 2D record sets, asset data, and the closeout package into the owner's CDE or FM platform.
