Features of Civil Law Regulation of Relations in Design and Construction Using Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Abstract

The paper explains the civil law aspects of the regulation of relations related to the use of information modeling in construction. The author analyzes the features of international and national standards for BIM implementation and highlights the problems of domestic legal regulation of relations in the field of information modeling. It is determined that the development of BIM technologies requires special contractual legal tools, providing, on the one hand, organizational and informational relations for the creation and use of a digital model within a single process of design, construction and operation, and, on the other hand, relations related to the exercise of property rights and obligations, exclusive rights to the BIM object. The author substantiates the necessity of introducing standard structures defining the use of BIM in contractual practice of design and construction. The author proposes to apply conceptual aspects that need to be reflected in the development of relevant treaties.
