description 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)
