SYNOPSIS   

The Malaysian construction industry is undergoing a transformative phase, with digital technologies becoming essential tools for staying competitive and meeting modern project demands. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is at the forefront of this shift, offering solutions to long-standing challenges such as inefficiency, cost overruns, and project delays. However, digital transformation extends beyond BIM, integrating technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), and Digital Twins to revolutionize the way projects are planned, executed, and managed. This webinar will provide participants with an in-depth understanding of BIM's role in Malaysia’s construction industry, highlighting how it facilitates better collaboration, improves design accuracy, and supports sustainable construction practices. It will also explore the potential of integrating BIM with advanced technologies to create smarter, more efficient workflows.
