Building Information Modeling (BIM) in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Industry: A Case Study in Malaysia
Abstract BIM is an intelligent model that triggers a different kind of design mindset, conduct and behaviour which emerged as one of the latest moderation of computer-aided technologies being utilized in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC). The demand and global emphasis upon sustainable stressing and eagerness upon efficiency and cost improvements throughout project lifecycle inevitably necessitate BIM to be implemented within AEC industry. This paper therefore elicited an industry wide analysis in BIM adoption in Malaysia. The study aims to review current BIM implementation challenges in Malaysian AEC industry. Quantitative approach is selected for data collection. Questionnaire surveys were distributed to architects, engineers and contractors. The collected data is analyzed through Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The challenges factors are categorized into three (3) categories, culture, business and technology. It is found that cost factor, knowledge factor and stakeholder factor are the major challenges in Malaysia AEC industry. These establish result portrayals will ineluctably serve as a guideline for AEC BIM adopters to develop proper BIM execution planning, with equilibrium established between intended accomplishments and suitable solutions for the tailing predicaments.
