<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>At present, contracts are evolving to a collaborative form such as Integrated Project
Delivery (IPD) or Multiparty agreements. Some states are using this new way of
interaction to reduce fragmentation and self- interest of the AEC sector component.
The construction sector’s productivity index is the same in the last decreased, on the
contrary the one of the mechanic industry increased. Collaborative contracts are the
way to improve the sector profitability. Its aim is to enable and develop collaboration
between the owner, the designer and the constructors. New technologies evolution
imposed a change in the contract type. A comparison between USA type and UK type
is presented. This one is becoming a new standard for European contract. This new
standard has proven to have demonstrated to generate an increase in productivity and a
decrease in waste of time in the design, in construction and in operational phases. The
changing of key participant’s scope from an individualist perspective to a collaborative
one, it allow achieving the building quality. The project requirement is the necessity to
better satisfy the owner needs, to clearly identify the contractual and extra-contractual
responsibilities of individual operators. These are the reasons why Building
Information Model and collaborative contracts are conceived to work on the same
project.</p>
