Lawyers Struggle with Contract Terms

Publication Date: 26-NOV-08
Format: HTML

    
Description:
The legal community is struggling to assist in developing meaningful contract terms relating to the use of technology in design. That’s not surprising given the speed with which building information modeling has appeared on the construction scene, say lawyers. Further complicating the legal scene is a lack of industry standards covering what BIM is and does. There also is disagreement about the best process to generate model design and which deliverables should be derived from the completed model.
