Development of Collaborative Contractual Framework for Building Information Modelling Enabled Construction Projects

Abstract

The need for greater collaboration and communication are leitmotivs have been identified as core issues that need to be improved in the construction industry. A conceptual governance framework was developed to determine the relationships and interactions of the dimensions of collaboration required to improve the performance of BIM-enabled projects. Then, using precedents from case-law, the core dimensions of collaboration that are identified are legitimised and therefore, can be considered in conjunction with existing contract forms.
