| description | Building Information Modelling (BIM) has experienced significant growth in the global construction sector, including in Malaysia, over recent years. This study explores BIM's application and performance in the Malaysian
construction industry by focusing on three key objectives: assessing the current level of BIM application, identifying barriers to its adoption, and proposing solutions to enhance its utilization. A comprehensive literature review
highlighted 12 major challenges and 10 significant solutions to increase adoption. Data was collected through an online survey of 161 industry practitioners, analyzed using Cronbach's alpha for reliability and the Kruskal�Wallis H-test to evaluate differences based on company size, profession, and work experience. Semi-structured interviews with nine industry professionals provided additional insights. The study found that BIM is predominantly
implemented at Levels 1 and 2, with significant barriers including technological complexity, high costs, and a shortage of skilled professionals. Recommended solutions include increasing organizational training, enhancing government support, and addressing broader economic factors. These findings aim to aid the industry in advancing BIM adoption, inform regulatory policies, guide academic curriculum development, and improve software solutions, thereby aligning Malaysia’s BIM practices with global standards. Moreover, this research underscores the need for a consistent strategy involving all stakeholders to overcome current challenges and drive sustainable BIM integration. The research gap lies in the lack of comprehensive, mixed-method studies that explore the latest barriers and practical solutions to BIM adoption across both the public and private sectors in the Malaysian construction industry,
particularly involving key professionals like architects, engineers, and BIM coordinators. |
