Description
Summary:The purpose of this paper is to explore the benefits of implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) implementation in the construction industry. Building Information Modelling (BIM) has emerged as a revolutionary technology in the construction industry, transforming the way projects are designed, constructed, and managed. This abstract explores the numerous benefits of BIM implementation in the construction industry. BIM facilitates the creation and management of a digital representation of a building or infrastructure throughout its lifecycle, enabling improved collaboration, enhanced visualization, and efficient decision-making. The construction industry in Malaysia faces challenges in BIM adoption due to lack of consensus, cultural barriers, cost concerns, technological obstacles, and limited case studies. The adoption rate is low, and cost is the primary challenge. The industry is still in its early stages, with traditional processes preferred and interoperability issues affecting BIM implementation. Technological barriers, such as hardware and software risks, resistance to change, and investment in training, further impede BIM adoption. A survey by the Construction Industry Development Board revealed that only 17% of Malaysian construction industry respondents had experience with BIM. Addressing these challenges and promoting BIM diffusion within construction organizations is crucial for successful BIM adoption in Malaysia.
