Duane Morris Partner Richard Lowe to Speak at BIM Contracts Webinar
April 17, 2009 | Webinar
Duane Morris partner Richard H. Lowe will be the speaker for the "Fridays with Vico" webinar, "BIM 301: New BIM Contracts," to be presented on Friday, April 17, 2009 from 12 noon to 2 p.m. EST.
About the Webinar
Contracts play a central role in defining deliverables, interactions with project stakeholders, and risk obligations for commercial building projects.
This webinar is for you if:
1.) Your firm has received an RFP in which the Owner asks for BIM deliverables;
2.) Your firm has received a request to work under an alternative delivery method such as IPD or Design Build;
3.) Your firm is interested in coordinating multiple models from several entities, such as the Architect, the Structural Engineer, and various Subcontractors;
4.) You want to better understand how to be in compliance with the ConsensusDOCS 301-BIM Addendum, or the AIA 202 materials, and use their structure to your best advantage;
5.) You are unsure if you are meeting the Standard of Care as defined in contract language;
6.) You are unsure about the modeling structure to employ and the contributions to accept;
7.) You are interested in perpetuating the life of the model to Facilities Management after the keys are turned over.
Legal contracts in the construction industry are developed to serve two purposes: to recommend best delivery practices and to properly allocate risk among the project stakeholders. With the advent of BIM technologies, methodologies, and processes, it has become increasingly important to identify who or what holds key project details: the Architect or the GC, the model or the drawings. And with that ownership, comes great reward or risk. In the webinar, we'll discuss the various types of models as identified by the ConsensusDOCS and the AIA, the best practices for handling the model and its changes, as well as the legal ramifications (and rewards) of entering into these project relationships.
