BIM Contracts & Risk Allocation/BIM Process & Technology Implementation for Mechanical Contractors

Day 1: Here is a sampling of important legal concepts and concerns that BIM Contracts and Risk Allocation for Mechanical Contractors will address head-on:

• Is the mechanical contractor’s risk greater just because BIM risks are different?

• Reaching an understanding with all parties about the ability and right to rely upon the model.

• Should the same risk allocation principles that apply to traditional two-dimensional design apply to a BIM model?

• Applying strict rules to police the model so that access rights are reasonably restricted or logically granted.

• The traditional tri-party approach to design and construction is shifting toward “Integrated Practice” and collaboration.

• Specific privacy and security requirements.

• Storage and retrieval requirements for electronic documents and data.

• Contract provisions in the design and construction agreements that address the line and flow of communications among the project parties.

• Contractual reporting requirements for known or observed errors or omissions in contract documents.

• Confidentiality provisions.

• Who is responsible for inputting which information into the model?

Day 2: Following the BIM Process and Technology Implementation for Mechanical Contractors course, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate and select process options for a specific BIM project

• Describe the roles and responsibilities of participants in the BIM process

• Create a BIM process diagram for a project

• Identify consistent factors influencing BIM project ROI

• Communicate the BIM process to management, colleagues, and project stake holders

• Outline a process for BIM adoption on the project level

• Identify factors influencing BIM ROI on a company level

• Outline a process for BIM adoption on the company level
