SYNOPSIS

Building Information Model (BIM) is a theoretical method of approach for project design and construction that involves three-dimensional (3D) modelling and parameters of computer-intelligible interchange of information between parties involved in construction project management. In developed countries, adoption of BIM has become a trend as a technology platform that allows professionals such as architect and engineering firms to exchange and manage the information effectively.

Unfortunately, many consulting firms and construction companies in Malaysia are reluctant to adopt BIM completely due to issues that can be solved if more effort is taken to understand, test, and evaluate the benefits of BIM.
