Frequently Asked Questions

LOD 100 - Conceptual  
The Model Element may be graphically represented in the Model with a symbol or another generic representation. Information related to the Model Element can be derived from other Model Elements. Any information derived from LOD 100 elements must be considered approximate.  

LOD 200 - Approximate Geometry  
The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a generic system, object, or assembly with approximate quantities, size, shape, location, and orientation. Any information derived from LOD 200 elements must be considered approximate.  

LOD 300 - Precise Geometry  
The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a specific system, object, or assembly in quantity, size, shape, location, and orientation. Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Element. The project origin is defined, and the element is located accurately with respect to the project origin.  

LOD 350 - Precise Geometry with Connections 
LOD 350 The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a specific system, object, or assembly regarding quantity, size, shape, location, orientation, and interfaces with other building systems. Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Element.   

LOD 400- Fabrication-ready Geometry  
LOD 400 The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a specific system, object, or assembly in terms of size, shape, location, quantity, and orientation with detailing, fabrication, assembly, and installation information. Non-graphic information may also be attached to the Model Element.  

LOD 500 - Operational/As-built Models  
LOD 500 The Model Element is a field-verified representation of size, shape, location, quantity, and orientation. Non-graphic information may also be attached to 
the Model Elements.

Yes. Our Journeymen Detailers come from the field and have completed a 5-year Union apprenticeship in their respective trades. We know how to Detail it because we have all worked with the tools in the field.

All our leaders have gone through a Union apprenticeship and are Detailers in their respective trades, currently in good standing with their Union. We can go onsite to review field conditions and convey this to our Detailing team to accurately model the project.  

We will only place Detailers on a project with the experience that the project requires. For example, we will not place a Detailer with only High-rise multi-family or Hotel experience on a semiconductor project. You can rest assured that the Detailer on your project will have the skill set necessary. If you need a Detailer with Process piping or BioPharma experience, that’s what ICON will provide.

We can estimate projects on a Lump Sum or staff augmentation basis. For lump sum bids, our pricing is based on project type and the duration of coordination.
