Summary:Finally, and to some fanfare, there has been a reported cased involving building information modelling (BIM). Although Trant Engineering v Mott MacDonald EWCH 2016 can, on detailed analysis, be seen as a case of non-payment and the ability to use injunctions to access key project documentation, it does raise issues about how BIM affects projects and how it is handled in contracts. Anticipating the likelihood of further issues involving BIM, it is perhaps sensible to step back and apply some sound principles in ensuring that rights, responsibilities and liabilities regarding BIM are clearly set out in any fully executed contract so that all parties - and, if it comes to it, their insurers - are clear as to where both individual and shared liabilities may sit.
