Abstract

Although Building Information Modeling (BIM) adoption and application is gained particular importance in building industry, it is completely new for those working in road and highway projects. However, it is highly admissible now. In fact, the effect of economic pressures on project budgets within the infrastructure industry (especially road and highway projects), along with needs for higher asset performance and investment, motivate to increase the use of BIM for infrastructure in order to achieve higher efficiency and better project risk management. This dissertation aims is to establish the adoption of BIM in Malaysia highway construction and infrastructure works. At the same time collect the data accurately and effectively in order to reduce the project duration. Therefore, there are three objectives are achieved in order to accomplish the aim. The objectives are to identify the benefits and important of implementation BIM towards highway project and infrastructure works, evaluate the barrier of implementation BIM software in order to replace conventional method and the ways lead to successful implementation of BIM in Malaysia for highway and infrastructure project. Moreover, literature review was carried out to focus on the benefits and barriers of implementation BIM towards highway project and infrastructure works in Malaysia. Thus, it will also discuss about the ways lead to successful implementation of BIM in Malaysia for highway and infrastructure project. Quantitative method will be use for this research through online questionnaire and printed questionnaire distribute to respondent in order to collect data and information.
