(BIM Strategies: Session 2 – Negotiating BIM Scope)
Before BIM can be successfully implemented on a project, it must be clear to all parties what level of BIM is expected and how the stakeholder’s roles will be affected. There is nothing more important than documenting this in the contract! Participants will learn the key issues that must be discussed in negotiating a scope of BIM services. Who will model what, when and at what level of detail will be reviewed. Also, the speakers will explore the management of the process, people and data necessary to make a BIM project successful. The current state-of-the-art tools for negotiating, contracting and managing BIM projects will be presented.
This presentation will give you tools to nail down specifics when it comes to levels or capabilities of BIM deliverables:
- NBIMS Interactive Capability Maturity Model (I-CMM)
- Model Progression Specification
- “Attachment F” for work in the Department of Defense
- AIA BIM Protocol Exhibit
- AGC BIM Addendum
