| Summary: | Almost similar to previous research papers on BIM implementations study, this
research paper presents analysis of findings of a research project, which discovers
the benefits and challenges of BIM implementation in construction industry in
Sarawak state area. BIM is widely known for its benefits in improving
construction project process and waste minimization in terms of resources and
time, by offers the users 3-dimensional modelling for construction project design.
Traditional project process typically utilizes 2-dimensional drawings which will
be interpreted by site project team which highly requires high expertise of
technical skills from site project team to piece together the construction drawings
design that are consists of architectural, mechanical and electrical, structural and
civil, as well as landscaping architectural. The major findings are the five highest
rated benefits and challenges, along with the suggestions from respondents on
how to encourage BIM implementations in construction industry in Sarawak,
from perspectives of government agencies, private organization and high learning
institutes. The findings sorted the five highest rated benefits and challenges for
better understanding on the main consideration factors affecting respondent’s
decision in adopting BIM technology. 272 respondents delivered a complete
survey data for this research paper. These tabulated benefits and challenges
recommended to future researchers for better understanding on the factors
affecting project executives or stakeholders to consider adopting BIM in
construction industry mainly in Sarawak state. The points in this research paper
could be utilized by organizations to justify adoption of BIM system in their
construction projects. (Abstract by author)
