New AIA Contract Docs
ConsensusDocs released their BIM addendum a while back and the AIA has now announced the release of six new IPD and BIM documents which include a BIM Exhibit that should help facilitate direct communication of each party's duties and an on-site project representation document that should be interesting. A full press release from the AIA can be read here.
It's impossible to keep the excitement that surrounds BIM projects from spilling over into construction's legal sphere. The challenges of contracting for a collaborative exercise and answering the new questions that are raised in an atmosphere that could become an entirely open and instant exchange of information will likely end up creating the need for many future revisions and additions to all the collaborative agreements.
