From hallandwilcox.com.au: The construction sector is undergoing significant technological changes, including the adoption of Building Information Modelling, off-site modular construction, and 3D printing, which address productivity and labour shortages.
These innovations introduce new legal complexities, necessitating amendments to traditional contract frameworks to manage risks related to intellectual property, liability, and quality control.
Legal adaptations are required to accommodate these technologies, ensuring that contractual obligations are updated for payment terms, risk transfer, and quality assurance in modern construction practices.
