The implementation of building information modeling in MACalaysian construction industry

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a new approach of construction design. It does not only facilitate the digital representation for designs but also provides all the necessary information for any project before it is constructed. Despite these advantages, the adoption of BIM in Malaysian constr...
