| Summary: | Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an emerging technology that provides a platform for a comprehensive
digital representation of a facility to be created by integrating data from design conception until demolition. In
seeking the optimum use of BIM, large degree of cooperation and collaboration among multi-disciplinary
contributors are required for the digital data exchange and sharing process to be deployed. This situation, however,
throws up new issues in delineating liabilities and limitations of contributors as the demarcation line of each
contributor becomes unclear. In Malaysia, there is no known BIM-enabled standard form of contract that clearly
preserves the intellectual property rights (IPR) of the BIM projects contributors. Therefore, the present study
attempts to investigate the issues related to IPR in the context of BIM application in construction project.
Qualitative methodology involving literature review, analysis of existing IPR provisions and semi-structured
interviews with the experts were conducted. The research identified two major issues related to IPR in BIM
projects: copyright ownership of the BIM model and data infringement. This paper is substantial to deliver
knowledge to the construction industry practitioners regarding the legal and contractual considerations in the
adoption of BIM. |
