This document discusses the practical legal considerations of using Building Information Modeling (BIM) for construction projects. It notes that while BIM can provide benefits like improved coordination and reduced costs/delays, current contracts are not drafted with BIM in mind and provide limited guidance. Issues that may need to be addressed when using BIM include responsibilities for the BIM model's integrity, copyrights, responsibilities between design participants, and insurance. Bespoke amendments or a "BIM protocol" may be needed to deal with these new practical and design issues introduced by BIM. Communication between parties is emphasized as important for effective use of BIM.
