| Summary: | Malaysia has progressively becoming a developed country and the demand for construction projects came from government and private construction sectors to fulfil the economic needs of infrastructures and commercial building. Traditional methods of construction using 2D drawing during the planning phase cannot promise that the construction project will be completed within contractual time, budgeted cost and a good construction quality. Malaysia has started to implement BIM technology as it is one of the promising developments in the architecture, engineering, and construction fields (AEC) industry. The purpose of this study is to assess the benefits of BIM technology as an enabler in the construction industry in term of time, cost and quality. The research methodology was divided into two stages. In stage 1, existing data and suitable parameters were identified. For stage 2, elements of architecture, structure and MEP were coordinated and demonstrated in a 3D model using Autodesk Revit and clash detection of these elements were detected by Autodesk Navisworks Manage. The results of clash detection had resolved 2D drawing issues. The research of benefit usage of BIM technology was collected and summarized into likert scale questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to 20 respondents who were involved in BIM technology works. The result shows that the benefits of BIM were agreed and supported by all respondents. Thus, it is recommended to use BIM in construction and contractors are encourage to implement BIM in a future project and to meet demand of construction industry in Malaysia. |
