13. What are the contractual issues?
• BIM level 2 is already widely introduced and working. Since every party
works in its own system today’s contractual relationships and insurance
cover continue to fulfil the requirements.
• BIM level 3 is where the big changes are needed, since all parties to a
project will have access and edit facilities to all data. This is where FIDIC
might have a need to adapt its family of contracts to address the new
working environment. Some examples of issues popping up:
– Responsibility for cyber security
– Liability for incorrect information
– Ownership of data
– Intellectual property rights
– Liability if the information is subsequently used for illegal purposes
– integration with new insurance packages

14. What are some of the “Big Boys” saying (source: internet)
• Using BIM, ARCADIS differentiate from competitors in the market due to
our capability of working closely with clients and conducting the Business
Transformation Program to ensure that the BIM systems and processes are
aligned with their transformation blueprint, as well as with existing ‘as-is’
business processes.
• Arup has launched the BIM Maturity Measure, a simple tool to assess the
maturity - and success - of BIM implementation within projects.
• With clients in more than 130 countries, AECOM delivers technical
excellence and thought leadership on thousands of design projects around
the world. Autodesk Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions help
this global engineering services firm achieve better business results by
providing more insight and greater predictability for their projects.
• … and what are the hundreds of thousands small
engineering firms around the world saying?
BIM impact into our industry

15. Overview
• Who is FIDIC
• Why is BIM of interest to FIDIC
• What is FIDIC doing

16. • FIDIC is committed not only to address BIM related matters within its
family of contracts, but take on its responsibility resulting from being the
global authority relating to business practices. BIM level 3 will have a
huge impact on our industry and there is a risk, that small and medium
sized companies might not be able to cope with these changes.
• FIDIC has several committees which are monitoring the BIM impact on
their day to day work. These are the Contracts Committee, the Capacity
Building Committee and the Business Practice Committee. The FIDIC
secretariat is coordinating the exchange of theses different committees
with interested member associations and with EFCA – the European
Federation of Consulting Engineering Associations.
FIDIC Actions

17. • FIDIC is launching a survey among all its member associations to get
feedback to questions like:
– What is the status of BIM implementation in the specific country
– Timeline for mandatory BIM implementation
– Are standards developed and who has ownership of the model
– Has the national association a “BIM strategy”
• EFCA in parallel also started a survey among the member of its internal
markets committee mainly focusing on standardization.
• Next steps will be decided within FIDIC at the upcoming Executive
Committee Meeting end of May 2016.
