In reply to Les Morrison. Hey Les, thanks for comment. I agree, the third parties are often involved as consultants. And depending who they provide their service to, I would place them in that place of the management tree.

Konrad – As usual another very useful post – Thank you. Please note that the management tree is never as well structured as practitioners/professionals believe, as there is one more body who could become involved into the upper echelon of ‘Parties’, engaged by, or, on behalf of the Appointing Party = A Third Party = a body who holds the authority to undertake an activity or set of activities on behalf of the Appointing Party in lieu of their inability to proceed due to: inadequate in-house resources/capability/expertise, etc,.

In reply to Martin. Hi Martin! In design&Build type of contract, it is usually the General Contractor who takes the sole role of the Lead Appointed Party. It is his responsibility to appoint a designer and other parties.

In reply to Konrad Fugas. Hi Knorad, Under a design and build contract would there be more than 1 Lead appointed party? One at design stage and one at construction stage?

In reply to Maja-Marija of Nahod.

Hi Maja and thanks for the question!
Who is a “Lead Appointed Party” depends heavily on what type of contract it is. If this is Design-Bid-Build, this can be a consultant or different companies depending on the stage.

If this is Design-Build, this is normally General Contractor. If this is Construction Management, then the Lead Appointed Party is an internal team from Building Owner or an external consultant company.

I would say that Lead Appointed Party has to be a company since they have to develop the project and take responsibility for that. BIM Manager is merely a management role inside the BIM process. And this is a tiny part of the whole construction process we are talking about here.

Let me know if this answer satisfies your inquiry!

Hi Konrad, many thanks for this description. I just want to clarify with someone outside of my team, as we are developing BIM terms for Croatia. “Lead appointed party” – do you see it as a company or can be person (as there is different regulation regarding responsibilities through EU and worldwide, it could be confusing. As far as I see it, as this party coordinates etc., it could be person, BIM manager?
