Abstract
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is evolutionary technology that is broadly implemented in the modern construction industry around the world. BIM is a set of digital tools that can manage the effectiveness of construction projects and is used by the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industries in Malaysia. The purpose of this research is to discuss on how BIM is utilised in different stages of construction and identifies the types of BIM software available to assist construction stakeholders in different stages of construction process. It is to appreciate the digital transformation in the construction industry through BIM application in producing high quality work in consideration of time and cost. The aim of this research is to develop a conceptual framework for construction stakeholders’ decision making on the application of BIM in construction projects in Malaysia. As such, a systematic literature review was carried out using secondary source of data. The key finding of this research is that the application of BIM in construction industry is capable on assisting construction stakeholders in completing projects as there is no significant difference between working profession and their perception on the application of BIM in the construction industry through the analysis conducted using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). BIM is also able to assist construction stakeholders from pre-construction to post-construction stage. Various BIM software is being utilised by the construction industry and various BIM benefits in terms of time, cost and better management factor are available when implemented in construction works. Therefore, the conceptual framework is developed from data collected using primary data approach through self-administered questionnaires with the said of secondary data from literature review. The paper concludes by identifying limitations of research and recommendations for future research.
