Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) within the Malaysian construction industry continue to thrive under the Construction Industry Transformation Programme (CITP) 2016 to 2020. Embracing new technology and modern construction, such as information and communications technology (ICT), as the future direction will drive the industry toward an improved performance and continued global competitiveness. By 2020, construction industry players that are engaged in government projects worth over 100 million will be required to achieve a minimum of 40% implementation rate of Stage 2 BIM maturity. This paper aims to assess the status of BIM adoption in Malaysia to ensure that the development of strategy can be used as an overarching framework for the implementation scheme. Survey was conducted in 2016 among construction industry players in Malaysia and generated a sample of 570 responses. The findings revealed that the percentage of BIM adopters (17%) in Malaysia is extremely low. In this survey, several challenges that hinder the adoption of BIM in Malaysia was analysed. It is expected that the findings from this study will recommend BIM stage 2 implementation strategy for the construction industry in Malaysia.
