BIM for construction claims management and forensic delay analysis : master thesis No.: 281/II. GR-BIM

Alexander, Dhanya Mary (author), Cerovšek, Tomo (mentor), Janjić, Veljko (comentor)

The aim of the thesis is to examine the impact of using BIM protocols with standard contracts on claims management and to provide guidelines to clients and contractors on how to request information pertaining to claims using the EIR (Exchange Information Requirements). The introductory part of the thesis provides an overview of the general legal framework and standard contracts in the construction industry. The core of the thesis focuses on forensic delay analysis, which is a process of analysing the causes and impact of delays to quantify the extent of schedule overruns and cost claims. Therefore, a synopsis of the methods of producing forensic analysis of delays and conditions for their selection are reported. In this context, the thesis provides a detailed overview of the key input and output information that is essential to support decision-making in forensic delay analysis and for the minimum information and documentation that must be included as part of detailed claims development. The thesis explores the possibilities of using Bexel Manager to support claim documentation and analysis of delay-based claims and develop protocols to be used in Bexel Manager for creating and maintaining contemporary records. Based on the research carried out, the concluding part examines how requirements for filing claims should be structured within the EIR using the guidelines provided in the ISO 19650 series of standards.

• Title: BIM za upravljanje gradbenih zahtevkov in forenzično analizo zamud

Abstract

Namen te diplomske naloge je podati smernice invstitorjem in izvajalcem o tem, kako vključiti BIM v svoje pogodbe in dokumente za izmenjavo informacij za izboljšanje upravljanja zahtevkov in forenzično analizo zamud. V uvodnem delu naloge je podan pregled splošnega pravnega okvira ter standardnih pogodb v gradbeništvu. Jedro naloge se osredotoča na forenzično analizo zamud, to je postopek, ki temelji na strokovni analzi vzrokov za zamude pri izvedbi gradbenih projektov. Zato je podan pregled pogojev in metod izdelave forenzičnih analize zamud, ki so osnova za kvantificiranje obsega prekoračitve rokov in analize upravičenosti do dodatnih stroškov v zahtevkih. V tem kontekstu podajamo podroben pregled ključnih vhodnih in izhodnih informacij, ki so bistvene za podporo odločanju pri forenzični analizi zamud ter minimalne zahteve za informacije, ki morajo biti vključene v dokumentaciji zahtevkov. V osrednjem delu naloge se osredotočamo na zahteve glede podatkov, ki jih je potrebno vključiti v model BIM da se bodo lahko uporabljali kot vir informacij za forenzično analizo zamud in raziskujemo možnosti, kako lahko z uporabo 5D BIM okolja Bexel Managerja zagotavljali podporo za dokumentiranje in analizo zahtevkov, izhajajo iz zamud. Na osnovi izdelanih analiz v sklepnem delu podajmo zahteve, kako je potrebno strukturirati informacijske zahteve EIR (angl. Exchange Information Requirements) z uporabo smernic iz serije standardov ISO 19650.
