A framework for the diffusion of building information modelling (BIM) adoption strategy for the private client organisation

Despite being involved in the global industry and having endorsement from various governments on its advantages, Building Information Modelling (BIM) continues to languish and unable to attract a critical mass of adoption in Malaysian construction industry. Approaching the issue from the interrelate...
