BIM Level of Development (LOD) is an industry standard that defines how the 3D geometry of the building model can achieve different levels of refinement, is used as a measure of the service level required. These development models are purpose built for various stages of design, 3D visualization, construction-caliber quantities, scheduling, estimations, on-site production control and fabrication. Using the Level of Detail (LOD) industry specifications as a guide, S&S 3D Modeling Service will create a 3D model of your projects based on the specificity required. We also deliver animation services for LOD in the sequence for virtual construction sequencing and simulation to develop insights of how and what will be constructed.


S&S has expertise of delivering LOD for different levels. S&S offers five LOD options ranging from 100 to 500. We adopt internationally accepted standard for LOD.

Modelling a range of options early in the design process
We use our proprietary simulation tools such as our BIM-integrated ‘SmartMove’, to measure and model behaviours. Its real-time simulation capability can help optimise spaces and processes during early stage design concept optioneering, as well as operational planning stages.
SmartMove is our specialist circulation modelling service. We use it to assess how people interact with your buildings, processes, and environments, giving us evidence to assess the performance of designs and operations. Being able to test the placement of gates, doorways, corridors, key attraction points and many other factors, long before a design is finalised can save on costly errors, and better still, create opportunities to enhance the user’s experience and ultimately deliver better commercial outcomes for the client.
At the High Line in New York, we have been called back in to manage our own success. Our original design has proved so successful that there is now a need to further refine the operations to avoid overcrowding. Our work to analyse its use and crowd flow will inform the strategy moving forward.

Ensuring safe and comfortable wind conditions in public and private outdoor spaces is now an essential element of the design process for all major projects. In most countries globally, the outcome of a development application hinges on the ability for the building owners and developers to demonstrate this through accurate analysis.

What makes a facade function properly?

What makes a facade function properly? Apart from the obvious, like weather resistance, airtightness and making sure it doesn’t fall off the building, a big consideration is the energy impact on the building itself. An efficient, buildable facade makes for a better building and we work constantly to provide more efficient skins.


A thorough knowledge of the way in which facades are constructed means you can trust us with your project from concept design through to ‘nuts and bolts’. Whether this is for an intricate design such as for The Cube, Birmingham, or the grandeur of Hamad International Airport, Qatar with vertical glass facade systems more than 25 metres in height, we apply engineering rigour.


Our experience with hundreds of buildings worldwide, in a variety of climates, has also given us a deep understanding of practical construction issues. We are proud to have developed the first fully automated double-skin facade of its kind in the US for The Tower at PNC Plaza.
