abstract / sažetak
This paper explores the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in construction project contracts. A critical analysis of relevant academic literature was conducted to determine the current status of BIM implementation within the contractual context. The findings indicate a growing interest in BIM, but also reveal several obstacles, such as a lack of standardization and legal uncertainty in its contractual use. Although BIM is increasingly becoming mandatory in public and large-scale projects, existing regulations and standard forms of contract still fail to adequately recognize it and remain oriented toward traditional collaboration models.
U radu se istražuje primjena BIM-a u ugovorima projekta gradnje. Provedena je kritička analiza relevantne znanstvene literature kako bi se utvrdio trenutni status primjene BIM-a u ugovornom kontekstu. Rezultati ukazuju na rastući interes, ali i na niz prepreka, poput nedostatka standardizacije i pravne neizvjesnosti u primjeni BIM-a u ugovornim odnosima. Iako BIM sve češće postaje obvezan u javnim i većim projektima, važeće regulative i standardni oblici ugovora još uvijek ga nedovoljno prepoznaju i prilagođeni su tradicionalnim modelima suradnje.
