Introduction -- Payments in practice: Timing in everything -- Looking back (and forward): developments in BIM 2014/2015 -- National Construction Contracts and Law Survey: Summary of findings -- Contracts for the future -- Design liability, avoiding common pitfalls -- Can BIM solve construction disputes?
Reveals that disagreements over the value of final accounts and extension of time on projects are cited as the most common reason for the construction disputes. Report shows that there is an increase in collaborative working with BIM helping to overcome one of the major barriers to collaborative working - the lack of clear definition of responsibilities - but the report suggests that the legal framework needs to evolve to recognise and accommodate the changes this brings. The research also concluded that there have been significant changes in the forms of appointment that people use and that the use of bespoke contracts has risen significantly. Organisations are increasingly using contracts that are better suited to higher value, collaborative projects. Figures provided by NBS suggest that there has been an increase in the use of NEC and FIDIC contracts, whilst use of JCT contracts has fallen.
