“…Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a recent approach implemented in construction projects to digitally manage building design and project data throughout the life cycle of a building, a method that provides information sharing and interoperability among stakeholders. (Othman, Al-Ashmori, Rahmawati, Mugahed Amran, & Al-Bared, 2020). According to Brahim (2018), BIM has been defined into 5 perspectives: design, technology, process, performance, and productivity.…”

Heritage buildings offer a sense of identity in every country. Preserving heritage buildings is important to ensure that bona fide aesthetic values are well maintained. However, the conservation and preservation of heritage buildings during operation and maintenance (O&M) has been taken lightly which can cause buildings to be abandoned due to the tedious work involved for the Facility Managers. Therefore, a need for advanced technology, such as Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM), is important to enhance the efficiency of O&M for heritage buildings in Malaysia. Even though BIM has many benefits, yet it is not widely adopted in Malaysia especially for heritage buildings. Therefore, this research highlights the awareness of BIM for social heritage buildings in Kuala Lumpur. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with various construction professionals that have experience in BIM projects and managing heritage buildings. These interviews prove that the current facility management practices for heritage buildings do not use advanced technology for upkeep and maintenance, particularly when producing dilapidation reports and measured drawings. Findings also show the challenges that restrict the implementation of BIM in heritage buildings and how to overcome the problems which have been categorized into three (3) elements: people, process, and technology. This research is expected to fill the gap in the implementation of BIM by supporting the initiatives by the Malaysian government for increasing productivity in construction projects through the adoption of new technology, like BIM, especially for heritage buildings.

“…The construction industry contributes significantly to Malaysia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), accounting for 3% to 5% of the country's total GDP (Othman et al, 2020). As a result, BIM technology has been incorporated into the Malaysian construction industry, enabling for national-level construction efficiency.…”

Over the last decade, digital applications and Building Information Modelling (BIM) have been introduced in the construction industry to realize a smart construction ecosystem. However, the construction industry has not completely accepted BIM as a standard, and the concept of using BIM applications in universities has not been thoroughly researched. This paper addresses the first scientometric study of BIM education in universities, identifying the state of BIM education practices, skillsets, and the level of BIM education in universities. The paper used scientometric analysis and the VOSviewer mapping technique to assess the most impactful publication sources with the most important impact on BIM education by searching “BIM Education” and using 250 bibliographic data extracted from the Scopus database from 2011-2020 to identify the existing research gaps and research direction. Second, a structured questionnaire was distributed to 343 Year 2 and Year 3 students from two public and two private Malaysian universities that use BIM in their learning. Descriptive data analysis using cross-tabulation in SPSS and relative importance index (RII) were used to analyze the data. The paper revealed two stages of BIM education research; and identified research gaps in the fields of BIM education, architectural education, e-learning, curriculum and information management. The paper also revealed Revit, Cost X and the Glodon Cubicost software as the most used applications, while the common skillsets are design authoring, modelling, and cost estimation. However, both public and private university students mainly design 3D models at BIM Stage 1. The study recommends that institutions and other stakeholders provide continuous BIM training, purchase BIM software, and integrate BIM into the curriculum of Built Environment higher learning institutions for the next generation to be the generation that uses virtual collaborative platforms

“…Building companies worldwide are moving towards sustainability daily due to their understanding of the depletion growing of natural resources, health in the world, and the market demand for sustainable materials. Malaysia's construction industry plays a significant part in the Malaysian economy, contributing approximately 3 to 5 percent to the annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) [13]. Considering the massive emissions of CO2 from inappropriate materials and energy consumption by materials, buildings, and construction environment management are essential [23].…”

“…Meanwhile, there is a lake of criteria that lead to the selection process of green building materials [12]. Therefore, building stakeholders are facing a challenge in choosing green building materials [13]. The sustainability of materials selection for building projects is an important decision [14].…”
