Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a new technology in the construction industry to form a collaboration platform for effective communication and improve productivity and efficiency. Many researches have been published investigating BIM success adoption and implementation, challenges, risk, and barriers. However, there has been no systematic study analyzing the Bibliographic of these studies as a tool to explore a research gap in BIM implementation. This study is aimed to synthesize previously published papers on BIM and propose a new method for identifying success factors for effective BIM implementation by analyzing BIM-related journal articles published from 2009 to 2018. The main feature of this research methodology is the provision of a critical review of the literature and theoretical mapping for bibliometric analysis. As a result, limited articles have been dedicated to study the effective BIM implementation. This research paper has proposed a new useful method to be adopted for identifying success factors for effective BIM implementation.

Construction industry impacts the health and safety of its workers tremendously. This study is aimed to determine the rate of occurrence of fatal accidents after BIM implementation in Malaysia. The data used for the research was obtained from the Department of Safety and Health (DOSH) website, and it was validated by the relevant professionals through interview. This descriptive analysis was grounded in 796 fatal accidents over the period of 2010-2018. Of those accidents, 38.16% were related to fall-related, 30.39% struck-by, 17.67% caught in-between, 9.89% drowning/asphyxiation and 3.89% others. The results indicate that the types of accidents identified are similar to that of most countries in the world. The findings also revealed that the accidents had occurred because one or combination of the following: management's failure, unsafe site conditions, workers behavior, and environmental factors. Future work will concentrate on the use of BIM-based tools for job hazard identification and safety training.
