We included the provisions from our Public Sector Supplement 2011, which enabled the incorporation of a BIM protocol into the contract documents – providing relevant clauses and updates in respect of the impact of the BIM protocol on parties’ obligations and design responsibility. The publication of the JCT 2016 Edition of contracts was an opportunity to look specifically at the integration of BIM into the JCT suite. The BIM Working Group comprises JCT members – professionals from across all sectors of the industry – alongside specially co-opted BIM experts, who consider the developments in BIM and related technologies or practices, their impact on legislation or contract issues more broadly, and make recommendations to the JCT Council, which results in either changes to the contract suite itself, or separately published guidance. Matters relating to BIM and JCT contract issues are handled by the JCT BIM Working Group. JCT has been at the forefront of providing contract options for the construction industry to enable the adoption and integration of BIM into construction projectsįollowing the launch of our current (2016) edition of contracts, where we took specific steps in respect of the integration of BIM, we have continued to make the uptake of BIM easier via the contract process through the publication of our guidance for practitioners, BIM and JCT Contracts, and through our increasing range of digital options.
