As Building Information Modeling (BIM) brings effectiveness and better quality into the sector, it has broadened its usage worldwide throughout recent years. This expansion also motivates researchers to investigate potential problems that may occur while adapting and using BIM. Since it has modified the nature of the relationships between the parties differently than the traditional project delivery, legal issues such as Model Ownership and Intellectual Property, Contractual Relationship of Parties, Design Liability may become more critical. Hence, institutions and authorities have published protocols and standard forms of contracts to overcome such issues. However, lately, in the courts of the leading countries in BIM, like the UK and the USA, there are several BIM-related case law that are recording the encountered issues due to some perceived legal problems mentioned above. Therefore, in this paper, a categorization of potential legal issues is developed by investigating related publications. By categorizing potential BIM-related issues, this paper not only eases the way for examining related claims but also suggests conducting a case law examination with these categories to see how much of the legal issues mentioned in the literature are causing problems.

Investigation of legal issues and contractual considerations associated with BIM use in construction projects Kaya, Fatih; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-9) Building Information Modelling (BIM) has expanded its use worldwide in recent years, as it brings efficiency and better quality to the construction industry. This expansion also motivates researchers to investigate potential problems that may occur while adopting and using BIM. Since it has modified the nature of the relationships between the parties to differ from traditional project delivery, legal issues such as Model Ownership and Intellectual Property, Contractual Relationship of Parties, Design Liabi...
An investigation of legal aspects of BIM in construction contracts Kaya, Fatih; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (null; 2019-04-17) Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been adopted worldwide in recent years as a novel way of working that enables efficiency in the construction industry. Lately, numerous countries made it compulsory to utilize BIM in public construction projects. Similarly, BIM became a contractual requirement in some public infrastructure and Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects in Turkey. However, in order to benefit from the advantages of BIM, some legal concerns such as intellectual property, liability, legal val...
A National IT Strategy for Turkish Construction Industry Kumaş, Nihan; Nielsen, Yasemin; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) In this thesis, a national information technology (IT) strategy applicable to Turkish construction industry for future implementation of IT is developed, advising guidance to current and future stakeholders but also researchers and decision makers to set the right priorities and pre-harmonization for IT in construction. Within this study, the present situation of the industry is discussed, so as to structure today̕s required industry abilities fulfilling tomorrow̕s demands and innovative IT solutions. Then,...
Exploring quality issues in building information models via structural design reviews Candir, Esat; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide (2022-11-01) Building Information Models (BIMs) are being used widely in the construction industry. BIMs generally contain errors and mistakes, if not identified, might result in long review processes with the employers or cause issues during code compliance checks or construction. Since the quality requirements vary according to projects and even the stakeholders within the same project, it is challenging to establish a standard quality-check procedure. To focus on the model quality, custom procedures tailored accordin...
The Relation between the professional culture of industrial designers and their experiences in professional life Hatunoğlu, Doğan Can; Kaygan, Pınar; Department of Industrial Design (2019) With the global developments in the fields of innovation and technology, the industrial design profession is continuously expanding its definition. By not only creating or enhancing products but also services, and systems; industrial design operates in mostly manufacturing related industries such as; furniture, white goods, and electronic appliances. Today, the profession’s continuously increasing importance and place in the market attract the attention of these companies. Because manufacturing companies ar...
