- Description
- Despite the promise of Building Information Modelling (BIM) providing increased scope for inter-project participant collaboration the reality has thus far been disappointing. Whilst issues of interoperability (technological compatibility) are partially responsible for this it is also frequently observed that existing conventional building contracts act as barriers to JCT-mediated collaboration: BIM is particularly sensitive to the legal environment within it is being deployed for the success or otherwise of attempts at collaboration. Yet it remains likely that the various permutations of procurement and standard forms of contract will be likely to be continued to be used into the foreseeable future. It is therefore desirable to identify and understand the ways in which conventional contract conditions have the potential to prove inappropriate or counterproductive in a BIM-enabled project environment. This paper presents a taxonomy of the legal and contractual issues related to BIM integration, which provides a suitable basis for future application to the analysis of specific standard forms of construction contract.
