Partial contents:
Introduction -- PPC: The natural home for BIM and collaborative working -- Does the Duty of Good Faith have any place in English contracts? -- National construction contracts and law survey 2013 -- The CIOB Complex Projects Contract 2013 -- Using Dispute Boards in construction projects -- Improving collaborative construction contracts
Summary: Reveals that disputes remain a real (and growing) issue for the industry. The perception is that the number of disputes is on the rise, with nearly half of respondents saying the number of disputes has increased, while only 10% tell us there are fewer. The adoption of collaborative techniques is very low even though the profession is embracing collaboration in principle, with respondents agreeing that the delivery of clients? objectives is better achieved through collaborative working. It is still not normal practice for BIM to be referenced in contracts, with fewer than a quarter agreeing that they reference, or have adopted, BIM in their contracts. The survey also shows how international work (through UK-managed contracts) brings its own issues. Cultural differences, risk distribution, unfamiliar contract forms, security of payment, and language, are all cited as significant challenges for those involved in international contracts.
