Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become the latest trend of modernization in Malaysian construction industry. The aim of implementing BIM is to minimize the wastage while improving the productivity of project outcome in term of design and financial aspect. However, the adoption rate of BIM at 17% in local construction industry is still below the expectation of the government. Therefore, it is necessary to undertake the study on the BIM implementation in Malaysian construction industry from legal aspect in order to establish suitable legal framework for the construction parties to adopt BIM. In furtherance of achieving this objective, questionnaires have been distributed to the Architect with category of BIM user and non-BIM user. After collecting the data, SPSS will be used to analyse the data by mean of frequency distribution, central tendency analysis, Cronbach Alpha Test and multiple regression analysis. These analyses were performed to determine the validity and reliability of the data and formulating the hypothesis in order to achieve the aforesaid objective. The findings of the analysis will assist in displaying the mean ranking of variables in objective 1 which is “To investigate the current legal status of BIM implementation in Malaysia construction industry” and objective 2 which is “To identify the legal implication arised during the integration of BIM and other technologies in Malaysia context”. The findings of objective 1 and 2 will help in contribute for the objective 3 which is the selection of critical elements for suitable legal framework in BIM adoption. The findings of objective 3 will contribute as a consideration for the construction stakeholders to evaluate their current solutions in order to provide more assurance in BIM adoption issue and encourage the implementation of BIM in the near future
