Metadata are the properties that are used to describe and classify an object within a BIM model such as the manufacturer, performance, reference number, material, price, etc. BIM models can be rich sources of information with individual objects containing data about its geometry, descriptions, and other information.
How the Metadata are defined is important if the BIM model is going to be used to prepare schedules and reports for the construction process or post-construction use.
Our BIM survey model will only include this level of data if it is provided by a client and is normally only relevant on a full asset survey model at LoD 5.
