SYNOPSIS   

BIM is increasingly specified in Malaysian construction projects, yet many engineers face challenges translating BIM requirements into effective on-site execution.

This technical session focuses on engineering-driven BIM execution, addressing how BIM is planned, coordinated, and applied throughout the project lifecycle. Emphasis is placed on BIM Execution Planning (BEP), Level of Development (LOD) expectations, technical coordination workflows, and constructability considerations within multidisciplinary projects.

Using Malaysian project scenarios, the session examines common execution gaps such as late BIM engagement, unclear technical responsibilities, ineffective clash resolution, and misalignment between design and construction teams. Participants will gain practical guidance on managing BIM-related risks, improving coordination efficiency, and strengthening engineering accountability in BIM-based delivery. This session is suitable for engineers seeking practical, technically grounded guidance to improve BIM execution on real projects.
