Civil engineering (General) The construction industry is classified as one of the industries with continuous hectic growing vis-à-vis its unique characteristics and uncertainties throughout the project lifecycle. To march forward, the industry is embracing numerous advanced information technology approaches and concepts such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) which intends to promote full integration and collaboration among all stakeholders. Despite the advantages exemplified from this paradigm, the reluctance of implementation by the local construction industry remains as the strongest obstacle. Therefore, this paper aims to evaluate the workability and applicability of BIM in the Malaysian construction industry, in terms of its potential cost implication and benefits; with the objectives to examine the significances and relevant cost benefit elements of BIM investment in industry. To generate thorough and acceptable outcomes, interviews are conducted with the limelight shed upon the BIM-related projects to depict the genuineness and reality-portrayal, in terms of opted cost benefits elements. The data collected from the interview session are analysed by utilizing framework analysis approach.
