Conflicts between Drawings and BIM Models; Contractor’s Plight

BIM is a digital representation of projects from concept design to construction across operations. Used mainly for designing, pricing, programming, coordinating, integrating, and sequencing work activities, it also helps in MEP clash detection between items of work. BIM though used on a project, hard copy drawings still will be used by the design team. Difficulties are bound to happen if there are inconsistencies between the 3D, 4D, or 5D BIM models, and the hard copy drawings. The drawings may show different dimensions, as compared to the layouts and configurations of the BIM models. So why not check out some of the contractual considerations, while using BIM on future projects.
