While this approach provides benefits in improved communication and coordination of activities across those life cycle phases, it comes into direct conflict with the traditional manner in which risk and liability have been managed contractually.

... 120 BIM Beyond Design Guidebook The use of BIM potentially includes intellectual property developed by the architects and engineers, such as 3D model libraries, that would subject those libraries to being copied and illegally distributed if shared with other consultants working for the airport. Architects and engineers are also concerned with liability that might arise from the reuse of their designs by parties who might modify the model without the input of the design architects and engineers.
