The CIC BIM Protocol was introduced in February last year (2013). It is a supplementary agreement that can be incorporated into UK construction contracts to provide a legal framework around the use of BIM. In particular it helps clarify certain obligations and liabilities that have previously been cited as problematic when using BIM on some projects. The Protocol has been drafted for use on all common construction contracts and supports BIM working at Level 2.
COMIT are interested to know if you have had experience in using the CIC BIM Protocol and in particular if it was successful in allaying legal concerns around the adoption of BIM. This interest has been prompted by research being carried out by a student at Oxford Brookes University, which seems to indicate very patchy adoption of the protocol.
You can submit your own experience of the CIC BIM Protocol by completing this ONLINE QUESTIONNAIRE. It should take no more than 15 minutes to complete and your input would be greatly appreciated. COMIT will liaise with Oxford Brookes to publicize the results.
