With deep experience at the intersection of law, design, and information standards, Sarah brings clarity to what’s working, what’s still being missed, and what construction leaders need to understand to ensure digital processes hold up in practice - not just on paper. Legal definitions of BIM, compliance obligations under the Building Safety Act, and rising client expectations are creating new pressures - and opportunities - for the industry. Clear contracts, cross-team alignment, and accessible, accurate data are now essential for digital success.
Topics covered:
-
Why BIM must be clearly defined in contracts and what goes wrong when it’s not
-
How the Building Safety Act and Golden Thread are changing project responsibilities
-
What it takes to embed digital expectations from day one
-
Why data often gets lost between design and asset management - and how to stop it
-
What “project-specific” really means when it comes to digital delivery
-
How legal teams are helping shape more practical, enforceable digital frameworks
Digital delivery is no longer optional and with Sarah’s trusted perspective on contracts, compliance, and construction law, this episode shows why getting the legal groundwork right isn’t just smart, it’s essential.
