Abstract

This short article is about the legal aspects of Building information Modelling and the Dutch approach of this subject. But what is the Dutch approach? Can it be characterized in one word or a sentence? I am afraid not. In this article I will elaborate on both the practical aspects of BIM (how do we, the Dutch, use BIM), as well as the legal side of BIM. First I will discuss a number of subjects regarding the use of BIM, and a number of BIM initiatives and approaches of the legal aspects of BIM in the Netherlands, in order to explain ‘the Dutch Approach’ (par. 2). Second, I will elaborate on the legal documents (par. 3). Finally, par. 4 and 5 will contain some thoughts on the future of BIM (from a legal perspective) as well as the future of the legal aspects of BIM and concluding remarks.
