Description
The book presents a collection of studies relating to Building Information Modeling (BIM). In Malaysia, the adoption of BIM in local consultant are still low due to the acceptance of new technology, lack of skills and interoperability. In driving the utilization of technology, the execution in providing BIM training, change in management, contractual arrangement is still in need which brings the beneficial especially in quality, time and cost. Besides that, the application of BIM able to reduce the dispute and prompt to produce an integration which consolidate among stakeholder’s job scope. Based on the resulting model of cases studies, BIM is able to enrich data with parametric digital representation. By covering the overall views of contruction life cycle from design, construction, operation and maintenance. The integration was analysed to generate information in decision making & improve the delivery by predictive analysis. As the project progressively utilize, the maximum potential of BIM, can be obtain by comprehend complex issues such relation to risk management, sustainability management integration in building and tapping the needs of facility management based on overall construction industry. Hence, this book covers the overall execution of BIM practices that is possible by the issues and challenges in Malaysian construction industry. The success of this write up is the academic collaboration between – School of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), and Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus.
