ROLE OF BUILDING INFORMATION
MODELLING(BIM) IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION
1.Proactive claim
management
2.Improved
Documentation
• BIM can be used as a tool
 BIM provides a
for proactive claim
management by creating
a shared primary
database that includes a
3D model. This database
can be used to identify,
visualize, and estimate
claims, allowing for early
detection and resolution
of potential conflicts.
centralized repository of
information, allowing for the
storage and management of
current records and digital
evidence. This can facilitate
the timely delivery of digital
evidence and visually
represented claim reports,
which can accelerate the
process of resolving
disputes.
3.Visual
Representation
• BIM's 3D visualization
capabilities can help in the
analysis and understanding
of claims. By visually
representing the project and
the events leading to a
claim, stakeholders can
have a clearer
understanding of the issues
at hand, leading to more
effective and efficient
resolution.
3-D Visulisation
 BIM enables detailed 3D models and
automated collision detection software to
identify clashes between architectural
components and systems, reducing costly
rework and delays.
Design Co-ordination
 BIM promotes cooperation, identifies
clashes, and validates designs,
minimizing design errors and reducing
expenses.
BETTER PROJECT PLANNING
Virtual 3-D Model
4-D PLANNING
 BIM offers a virtual 3D model for
 BIM enables 4D planning, allowing
analysis, simulation, and visualization
during the planning stage, leading to
better project planning and thorough
knowledge of the project.
planners to examine the building
sequence and identify potential timespace conflicts.
Enhanced Collaboration
COLLABROTIVE
ENVIRONMENT
AND TRANSPERNCY
BIM centralizes data for instantaneous
access, enhances coordination, and
lowers errors, transforming construction
collaboration and promoting
transparency.
Clarity and Transperncy
BIM provides accurate and integrated
information, improving transparency
in resolving disputes and facilitating
fair and fast resolution.
CHALLENGES AND LIMITATION
Limited Knowledge
Lack of Standardization
 Lack of familiarity with BIM
 Discrepancies in the application of
technology among parties can hinder
its successful utilization in conflict
resolution.
BIM due to the absence of
standardized procedures can pose
challenges in dispute resolution.
Resistance to change
 Opposition from parties accustomed
to traditional dispute resolution
procedures can hinder the
acceptance of BIM.
Financial Implication
 BIM implementation can be costly,
particularly for smaller businesses or
projects with tighter resources.
Developing Implication
CONTRACTUAL AND
LEGAL
IMPLICATION
Challenges and uncertainties may
arise from matters like intellectual
property rights, ownership of the BIM
model, and culpability for errors or
omissions in the model.
Opposition and Acceptance
Encountering opposition and
encouraging the acceptance of BIM
can provide a difficulty in dispute
resolution
 Building Information Modelling (BIM) has the potential to significantly impact construction
disputes by improving project efficiency, transparency, and stakeholder satisfaction.
 BIM can directly contribute to dispute management by facilitating proactive claim
management, clash detection and error reduction, better project planning, creating a
collaborative environment, and promoting clarity and transparency.
 BIM can be used to proactively resolve claims and avoid conflicts by implementing a shared
primary database that incorporates a 3D model, which can be used for identifying,
visualizing, and estimating claims.
 Clash detection and error reduction are key benefits of BIM, as it allows for the identification
and resolution of conflicts in the 3D model before construction, minimizing costly rework,
delays, and budget overruns.
 BIM promotes better project planning by providing a virtual 3D model that can be used for
analysis, simulation, and visualization, allowing for improved coordination, risk management,
and communication among project teams.
