Lighting Design Documentation – CAD & BIM Services
CAD Documentation
At Avocado Lighting Design, we leverage advanced software and industry best practices to deliver efficient, accurate, and compliant lighting design documentation. Our CAD services ensure seamless integration of lighting concepts into architectural and engineering workflows, covering:
1. Precise 2D placement of luminaire symbols with annotations, references, and dimensions.
2. Clear, standardized drawings for construction and coordination.
3. Detail layouts referenced and dimensioned.
4. Compliance with international coding standards.
BIM Documentation
Our team, at Avocado Lighting Design, specializes in BIM lighting design documentation using industry-leading software and methodologies to deliver intelligent, data-rich models tailored to each project’s BIM Execution Plan (BEP). We develop adaptable, trackable, and highly coordinated models that evolve seamlessly across project phases. Our BIM documentation services include:
1. 3D Lighting Models:
- Custom parametric luminaire families with embedded metadata.
- Integration of manufacturer BIM libraries.
2. Coordinated Lighting Layouts:
- Precise 3D placement of luminaires within architectural/MEP models.
- Annotated, referenced, and dimensioned layouts for construction-ready clarity.
3. Technical drawings with luminaire mounting details.
4. Cross-disciplinary clash resolution (e.g., conflicts with ceilings, HVAC, structure).
5. Compliance & Standards:
- Alignment with international codes.
- Adherence to project-specific BEP requirements.
The BIM documentation gets updated and further detailed across LOD levels:
- LOD 100: Conceptual lighting zones and fixture counts.
- LOD 200: Generic luminaire placement with basic metadata.
- LOD 300: Shop-drawing-ready models with exact dimensions, connections, and performance data.
