[1]The ConsensusDocs Coalition[2] recently updated its Building Information Modeling (BIM) Addendum, which was originally published in June 2008.
The revision group was made up of practioners familiar with the technical, legal, and risk management aspects of BIM. They made updates to terminology in liability, insurance, and intellectual property terms, and added provisions for commissioning/turnover, as well as facility maintenance and operations. They also did sustainability analyses, incorporated level of development (LOD), and created options regarding reliance on model data. The provisions reflect current best practices in the fast-changing world of BIM.
“ConsensusDocs continues its lead industry role in the area of BIM with this publication,” said the group’s executive director, Brian Perlberg. “The new document is more specific and technologically intricate to address current industry needs, and provides for greater clarity in development of a BIM Execution Plan with better defined administration rights and responsibilities to assist all participants working on a project incorporating BIM.”
The BIM Addendum specifies technology requirements and formats conducive to robust BIM use as a tool throughout the lifecycle of a structure and is designed so parties can take advantage of features unique to BIM.
