Contracting for BIM Lifecycle Uses —
Working with Standard Industry BIM Contract Documents
Presented by:
Michael J. Vardaro, Zetlin & DeChiara LLP
Kimberly A. Hurtado, Hurtado, S.C.
As building information modeling (BIM) technology continues to evolve, a wide variety of model analysis tools are emerging to analyze and refine 3D design development, allowing model data to be used meaningfully from project visioning through the final decommissioning of a structure. These lifecycle tools provide some of the best returns on investment in BIM, and as a result, the construction industry is rapidly exploring their use on a wide range of public and private projects.
This 90-minute program will look at the expanding use of BIM for project lifecycle purposes, including scheduling (4D), cost estimating (5D), sustainability review and facility management. It will also discuss issues that may arise in modifying standard industry BIM contracts to establish meaningful deliverables for these new lifecycle BIM uses.
This information-packed presentation will:
- Explore currently available 3D, 4D, 5D and other lifecycle tools for BIM.
- Review AIA E202 (2008) Building Information Modeling Protocol Exhibit and the ConsensusDOC 301 (2008) Building Information Modeling (BIM) Addendum contract forms.
- Provide an overview of BIM Execution Plan development – including expanded needs for addressing processes for xD analyses of 3D modeling data.
- Consider liability issues that can arise from the cross licensing of model data for analysis purposes, including derivative rights and responsibilities.
- And much, much more!
Who Will Benefit?
This program is a must for attorneys, public or private owners, architects, engineers, construction managers, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers and BIM consultants interested in exploring BIM for lifecycle project use.
