 To be appended to contracts and appointments
 Establishes priority of contract documents
 Clause 6 – IP
 Appendices – vital information

BIM Protocol
 Data exchange
 Freezing points
 Management of common data environment
 Data security
 File naming
 Software to be used
 Use of models

Contractual Options for BIM projects

Contract Options

JCT Suite
 Public Sector Supplement amended definition of Contract Document to include
‘any agreed BIM Protocol’
 BIM working group considering further amendments where necessary
 Constructing Excellence form of contract can be used for collaborative working

NEC3
 Published ‘How to use BIM with NEC3 contracts’ supplement
 Places obligation on the parties ‘to act in a spirit of mutual trust and co-
operation’
 Partnership option X12 must be selected for partnering

PPC2000
 Used for Cookham Wood Prison BIM project with no contract amendments
required
 BIM Protocol available for use
 Allows team members to contract as a team and allows others to join team
through a ‘Joining Agreement’
 Team works as a partnership with Core Group overseeing project

CIOB Complex Projects Contract
 Designed for use on complex projects, multiple main contractors, multiple
completion dates and construction period of more than one year
 Requires that ‘the parties shall work together in the manner set out under the
Contract and shall co-operate in a spirit of mutual trust and fairness’
 Requires the parties to share information
 Allows choice of BIM Protocol but has a default option
 First standard form contract to cater for BIM specifically

Contract Options
 Existing contracts can be used with minimal amendment
 Details of requirements to be in Protocol and schedule of services not the
contract itself
 BIM-compatible amendments can be incorporated into all contracts

Procurement Routes for BIM projects

Procurement for BIM
 Early contractor involvement
 Front loaded
 Collaborative working
 Sharing of information in design environment
 To consider digital data

Traditional
 Designed by Employer and executed by Contractor
 Employer appoints QS, CA and Design team
 Lead designer co-ordinates design team
 When design substantially complete Contractor is appointed

Design and Build
 Single point responsibility
 Less control over design or cost of variations
 Contractor appointed when design has passed the outline/scheme stage and
then takes over the reigns
 Contractor responsible for completing the design and ensuring compliance with
Employer’s Requirements

Management Contracting
 Main Contractor selected by quality of management of construction process
 The Management Contractor stands in a contractual line between the Employer
and the Works Contractors – but provisions give relief from line responsibility to
the Employer for certain aspects of performance.
 The Management Contractor cannot enforce and recover those aspects against
the Works Contractors
 Contractor engaged early to contribute construction expertise to the design
 Increased risk for Employer

Construction Management
 Main Contractor selected by quality of management of construction process
 Construction Manager appointed in effect as a consultant
 Employer, on the advice of the Construction Manager, enters into Works
contracts directly
 Suitable for fast track projects or those with short lead time
 Increased risk for Employer
 No main contract

Collaborative Procurement
 Use partnering advisers
 Careful assessment of project at outset needed to determine suitability

Early Contractor Involvement
 Preliminary design prepared by Employer’s designer
 Tenderers submit delivery proposals but typically no design development at
this stage
 Two stage tendering used
 Contractor works with the Employer to develop the design during Stage 1
 Employer can terminate ECI contract at any stage during Stage 1 with a formal
break point before committing to Stage 2

Two Stage Tendering
 Front loaded
 Collaborative working
 Preferred contractor appointed early in process on basis of limited information
 Initial tender obtained against outline scope/design/budget/programme
 Second stage normally managed as negotiation between Employer and
preferred Contractor
 Preferred Contractor works with designers to develop design

Two Stage Tendering
 Allows Employer to begin work on site earlier
 Contractor on board earlier so can advise on buildability and sequencing
 Design developed during second stage – risk Contractor may inflate price
substantially at this point
 Relies on spirit of collaboration

Procurement for BIM
 Collaborative forms of contracts encouraged
 Pre-selection of team should take account of commitment to and capability to
implement BIM
 Project team to ‘build the project twice’
