Innovating Construction Law: Towards the Digital Age takes a
speculative look at current and emerging technologies and examines
how legal practice in the construction industry can best engage
with the landscape they represent. The book builds the case for a
legal approach based on transparency, traceability and
collaboration in order to seize the opportunities presented by
technologies such as smart contracts, blockchain, artificial
intelligence, big data and building information modelling. The
benefits these initiatives bring to the construction sector have
the potential to provide economic, societal and environmental
benefits as well as reducing the incidence of disputes. The author
uses a mixture of black letter law and socio-legal commentary to
facilitate the discourse around procurement, law and technology.
The sections of the book cover the AS IS position, the TO BE future
position as predicted and the STEPS INBETWEEN, which can enable a
real change in the industry. The rationale for this approach lies
in ensuring that the developments are congruent with the existing
frameworks provided by the law. The book proposes various steps
that the industry should seriously consider taking from the current
position to shape the future of the sector and ultimately create a
better, more productive and sustainable construction industry. This
book is a readable and engaging guide for students and
practitioners looking to learn more about construction law and its
relationship with technology and for those seeking a platform for
graduate studies in this area.
