What are some of the legal impediments caused by the widespread adoption of BIM in the construction industry?
What will be an ideal response?
BIM project delivery in many ways erases the distinctions among design,
builder, and component supplier. While the model is created in the
architect’s or engineer’s office, it integrates contractor, vendor, and
fabricator information into a seamless whole. BIM is a collaborative effort;
yet the law allocates responsibility upon individuals. Who is responsible for
design defects on a collaborative design? How is insurance coverage
allocated? Who owns the copyright in a BIM model? All of these
fundamental questions are exacerbated by the absence of standard form
contracts governing BIM projects.
