The lines of ownership and responsibility has been discussed in this article as the computing technologies have been sophistically developed, the frequent results is not a less expensive project but an equally expensive through more complex one, and the amount of the designers' time required for troubleshooting is substantial. The updating process is easiest when all parties use a common modeling platform, but this is not always possible.
It is a matter of designers acquiring the necessary knowledge through formal or informal education. It is true that architects typically do not have, nor even want, the skill required to specify means and methods of construction. Education of designers requires some modification to better qualify them for working within such procurement processes. Classic designing education has been focusing more on theories and spatial qualities, and of course the reasons behind that. Students have been applied more possibilities and opportunities to produce more potentials, and necessary collaboration between parties and technologies is substantial.
Summary: Existing contract forms require some modification, to encourage information flow among the parties involved in a project and best realized the advantages of CAD/CAM. Collaboration between architects, engineers, fabricators and contractors must be encouraged, beginning in schools. Software must continue to develop in the direction of more useful functionality, more transparent and require extensive programming skills in obtaining useful results with reasonable effort. New material and fabrication processes, take care of themselves inasmuch as human inventiveness continues to unearth heretofore unimagined materials processes and continue to rediscover and reapply old ones.
