BIM and the legal blind spots in construction – Sarah Rock speaks on the Deconstructing Digital podcast

Written by

How do you make digital construction legally watertight?

Sarah Rock joins host Amelia Fletcher-Blackburn at Causeway Technologies on their Deconstructing Digital podcast, to unpack the legal complexities of digital construction. From BIM (Building Information Modelling) to the Building Safety Act and the Golden Thread, they explore how shifting regulations and rising client expectations are reshaping construction contracts, while recognising there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.

As co-author of the influential Winfield Rock Report, Sarah offers expert guidance on how to define, embed and enforce digital requirements in contracts from the outset – ensuring critical data doesn’t fall through the cracks at handover.

With extensive expertise across law, design and information standards, Sarah sheds light on what is working in digital frameworks, where the gaps remain, what is often overlooked and what construction leaders must understand to ensure digital deliverables hold up in practice and not just in theory.
