| Summary: | Building information modeling (BIM) is a systemic approach that enhances the effectiveness and overall
quality of construction projects. Integrated BIM (iBIM) is an advanced state of BIM that integrates and
synchronizes disparate project data in a centralized database of reliable, accessible and real-time
project information. The purpose of this paper is to investigate key factors of iBIM implementation by
AEC industry players within the Malaysian context. This study adopted a quantitative method. A
questionnaire survey is conducted in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to collect data using 5-level Likert scale
questions. The study population was AEC industry players working in firms affiliated with professional
institutes in Malaysia. The one-sample T-test and Descriptive Statistics are employed to rank the key
factors of iBIM implementation in construction projects. The data were analysed by Statistical Package
for the Social Science SPSS software version 20 and Microsoft Excel. It is found that policy factors are
the statistically significant factors affecting iBIM implementation in Malaysian construction projects
followed by interoperability; learning and education; and finally standardization. Key factors are
important as a reference or guideline in advance of selecting the most appropriate framework for
achieving successful iBIM implementation in AEC industry. |
