description |
Lack of coordination and fragmentations have always existed
among the stakeholders and parties involved in the implementation of
planning, design and construction process of construction projects,
especially in the aspects of information transfer. In the recent trends,
Building Information Modelling, BIM has been introduced to address the
fragmentation issues. The BIM framework is based on the notion of
coordination between stakeholders in digital format for information
exchange throughout the construction progress. Although BIM technology
has been implemented in Malaysia for several years, low adoption is found
within the Sarawak construction industry. This paper aims to assess the
awareness and readiness for BIM implementation in the Sarawak
construction industry. The study was carried out using questionnaire
survey across the districts in the Southern Region, Central Region and
Northern Region of Sarawak. There are in total 404 responses received,
and it is revealed that only 14% of the participants have experience in
BIM-related projects. This is still far from the goals set by the Construction
Industry Development Board (CIDB) Malaysia. Meanwhile, 63% of
respondents had heard of BIM and 46% of them had attended some
seminar or program related on BIM. The investigation of awareness,
readiness and challenges of BIM implementation has been further inferred
and compiled as a foundation guideline for the proposed solution
framework to increase BIM usage in the state. It is hopeful that proposed
solution framework can help in overcoming BIM implementation barriers
in the Sarawak Construction Industry. |
