2. Facilitating objective of project delivery on time within budget, with value
▪ Construction on-going challenges to control projects
▪ Despite leading-edge technologies, the fundamental responsibilities should be emphasized.
- Fundamentals: Time, Cost, Scope
- Added constrains: Safety, Sustainability, Risk, etc.
It is important to not lose sight for the fundamental responsibilities
Of meeting the key project metrics of time and cost.

2. Facilitating objective of project delivery on time within budget, with value
BIM Facilitates project delivery through :
▪ Improve transparent collaboration and clear
accountability through enabling common language of
communication.
▪ Monitor and Control project from initial stage and
forecast possible risk factors and delays.
▪ Optimize minimal environmental impact.

BIM & 5G: How 5G will transform construction worksites
5G is about blazingly fast speeds, higher levels of reliability and increased capacity.
Smart construction will become data construction based on data technologies,
What was not convenient in the Past will become convenient.

5.Challenges for local and international projects
BIM & JCT: BIM and JCT Contracts is a new practice note which
provides guidance on using JCT contracts on projects where BIM
is to be used..
The aim of BIM and JCT Contracts is to:
further the understanding of BIM related legal and contractual
issues and suggest ways of approaching such issues in a
collaborative and constructive way.

5.Challenges for local and international projects
BIM & FIDIC: Up to now, there is no mention of BIM
in the pre-released second edition of the 2017
Yellow Book. That is not to say that FIDIC has
neglected BIM.
Far from it: at least three of FIDIC’s committees
have been asked to consider how best to deal with
BIM.
