Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of generating an accurate digital representation of a project that allows the development team (architects, engineers, builders and owners) to deliver highly integrated design and construction solutions. BIM facilitates a highly collaborative process and it is being promoted as a solution to reduce inefficiencies in building design and construction.

There are many unanswered questions
surrounding this technology, including:

* Does the joint sharing of data that is so integral to BIM create liability among project participants?

* Who is responsible for the final work product?

* Who owns and who has the rights to the intellectual property and the final design?

Join us when a panel of BIM users are joined by law and insurance experts to discuss the legal and practical considerations of using BIM.
