An Appraisal of the CIC's BIM Protocol

A BIM protocol was developed and published by the Construction Industry Council (CIC) in order to facilitate using BIM on projects through addressing the legal issues facing this use, such as design input, intellectual property rights, restrictions on liability and model ownership. The protocol is a contractual framework designed to complement standard construction contracts and manage the data exchange that is required by Level 2 BIM, including assigning relevant roles and responsibilities in this regard. This book provides a critical appraisal of the CIC protocol to find out whether it will facilitate BIM use, and therefore, accelerate the uptake of BIM adoption across the industry
