Design and construction are changing. With the emergence of new technologies and processes in the industry, one of the biggest perceived barriers to truly collaborative workflows are the legal implications of working in a new way. These barriers are often attributable to misunderstandings and a fear of the unknown. They can often be easily overcome by aligning expectations and contractual responsibilities. This presentation will dispel some of the myths associated with BIM workflows and provide attendees insights on how to navigate the legal pitfalls. It will educate individuals on how to address conflicts between organizations and how to overcome common issues that arise during a BIM based project.
