Case study on barriers to building information modelling implementation in Malaysia

Abstract

Purpose There is a dearth of studies conducted by local academics on actual building information modelling (BIM) projects to analyse the actual hurdles of BIM adoption. The majority of BIM research focuses on the technology’s general advantages, disadvantages, issues and limitations. In addition, research on actual BIM projects that have integrated BIM throughout the project is necessary to increase the current low number of BIM users in Malaysia. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to examine the challenges BIM adopters experience while implementing BIM in their projects and how they overcome them. Design/methodology/approach An in-depth interview session was used to collect data based on a case-study methodology. In Malaysia, three BIM projects were chosen, given the available resources. To evaluate the data in this qualitative study, NVivo was used. Findings According to the findings, the most important elements influencing the adoption of new technology and innovation were people and capital. The most significant impediments to BIM adoption are the appraisal of time and finances, as well as the tolerance of changes in approach. Originality/value Collaborative training and BIM education have been the most explored solutions for reducing BIM difficulties. As a result, these concerns and solutions should be investigated and implemented to ensure project success and fully use technological innovation.

Caracterização da utilização do BIM pelos engenheiros civis no DF, Brasil: Adoção e implementação

“…Outros desafios identificados incluem a queda na produtividade, a percepção do BIM como um trabalho meramente mecânico e a dificuldade em definir níveis de responsabilidade devido ao trabalho colaborativo [9]. A oferta de softwares de teste é sugerida como uma forma eficaz de aumentar a adoção e a eficácia do BIM [8]. Podemos tamvém destacar destacar dois pontos principais que impactam a transformação digital e uso da tecnologia BIM: a alta proporção de profissionais autônomos, evidenciando desafios específicos na arquitetura e urbanismo, e a concentração da maioria dos profissionais em projetos residenciais, principalmente em arquitetura e interiores [13].…”

A Systematic Literature Review: Implementing Building Information Modelling (BIM) for TVET Educators in Malaysia

“…Sinoh [17] requested a comprehensive nationwide systematic study on BIM in Malaysia to better understand the current state of BIM in the country. This understanding is essential in order to develop appropriate strategies to maximise the implementation of BIM [18]. It is imperative to identify the barriers in educational institutions and propose recommendations to address them in the education system [19].…”
