The number of countries where BIM is mandatory to be used in projects is increasing day by day because of its data intensive structure. In addition to improving coordination and collaboration in the projects, BIM helps the stakeholders to visualize the project and make more accurate estimations at the preconstruction stage. In the process, some of the problems previously encountered are solved by adapting BIM system into the project but there are still many problems to be solved by using other technologies in the construction sector. Especially legal disputes which result from uncertainty in contract terms and disagreements in delivery and payment processes can be solved by automatizing the payment process and eliminating the intervention of human beings within the progress. Smart contracts can execute the terms of contracts with the project information through BIM and computer codes embedded in the blockchain system. In this study, a sample workflow model to combine smart contracts and BIM models is proposed by combining the information gathered from the literature on this subject and the results of research conducted with experts. Each component and step of the proposed workflow was explained in detail with their alternatives. The parameters and details needed from BIM models for its efficient implementation were determined. Then, the pros and cons of the proposed workflow model and the usability of these technologies in the payment processes were evaluated, and the limitations of using these technologies were explained.

Adapting SPICE for Development of a Reference Model for Building Information Modeling-BIM-CAREM Yılmaz, Gökçen ; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Demirös, Onur (2018-10-09) Building Information Modelling (BIM) is highly adopted by Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facilities Management (AEC/FM) companies around the world due to its benefits such as improving collaboration of stakeholders in projects. Effective implementation of BIM in organizations requires assessment of existing BIM performances of AEC/FM processes. We developed a reference model for BIM capability assessments based on the meta-model of the ISO/IEC 330xx (the most recent version of SPICE) family of ...
Preventing claims in green construction projects through investigating the components of contractual and legal risks Mohammadi, Sahra; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (2016-12-15) Construction sector has a great potential to reduce total energy consumption through the techniques applied in sustainable projects. All over the world, policy makers have already realized the potential and begun setting some governmental goals. Since new regulations for achieving sustainability have been recently set to change the conventionally practiced administrative patterns in construction sector, the number of claims related to sustainability features of the construction projects has been growing eve...
Comparison of European and USA Based Construction Contracts and Understanding the Cultural Differences in Contract Bodies Sarı, Ramazan; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Tanyer, Ali Murat (2018-11-18) After increase in efforts in science and technology during the 20th century, cultural memory that a nation or civilization take benefits on daily practices solidified as civil institutions and get started a standard way of agreements in between project participants. There are two initial implications and thus two different approaches of standard contracts published in USA and UK by American Institutes of Architects (AIA) and Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). Architecture, Engineering and Construction (A...
An Approach to Determine Exchange Information Requirements(EIR) for Metro Projects in Turkey Doğu, Defne; Kaş, Serhat; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı (2020-11-14) The paper represents a framework that can be followed while adopting Exchange Information Requirements for metro projects in Turkey. In contrast to the universal trend of implementing Building Information Model initially to superstructure projects, Turkey brought an obligation of BIM use for the first time in a metro project. Since 2014, metro projects tendered in Turkey, primarily in İstanbul, are BIM-mandated public projects. However, Employers have not yet developed organization-wide holistic standards t...
An exploratory study on utilization of BIM for risk management Kaya, Hazal Deniz; Dikmen, İrem; Atasoy, Güzide; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi; 2020-11-14) It is a well-known fact that BIM application in construction projects enables several advantages such as better collaboration and communication, effective project visualization before construction, more efficient cost estimation and scheduling, and an increase in productivity. Although many of these advantages that BIM contributes to construction projects may result in opportunities for better risk management, there are limited studies in the construction management literature that investigate this subject....
