| Summary: | Construction industry in Malaysia still lags behind other industries in terms of
implementation of information technology. Materials management needs adequate
consideration in complex construction projects due to the involvement of several
elements of project. Hence, late delivery of materials can lead to delay that gives
negative impact to overall project plan especially in schedule. BIM is considered as
an effective way to solve the problems in the construction project life cycle.
Therefore, the objectives of this research were to identify the challenges of BIM
integration with materials management and to study the potential of BIM integration
with materials management in construction project. This research focuses on the
integration of BIM with materials management in construction project at Kuala
Lumpur with G7 contractors involved and consultants. The quantitative
(questionnaire) approach was used to gain information from consultants and
contractors (G7). There were 304 copies of questionnaires distributed to the targeted
respondents and 93 of the response were collected which was 30.59 % of total
respondent. The data were collected and analysed using Statistical Package for Social
Science (SPSS) version 21.0. The findings showed that, most of respondents agreed
that lack of awareness, unavailability of data formats, lack of introducing and lack of
understanding of BIM as challenges of BIM integration with materials management
in construction project. Similarly, most of respondents agreed that BIM can
integrated for planning and scheduling, controlling and monitoring, supply chain and
storage of materials management as potential of BIM integration with materials
management in construction project. The research finding encouraged the consultants
and contractors in Malaysian construction project should understand BIM,
knowledge of BIM and awareness of BIM in order to integrate BIM with materials
management in construction project. |
