| Summary: | Effective communication is crucial in every construction project to overcome problems in traditional
construction such as a misunderstanding, frequent verification and clarification, disappointment, lack of
trust, and conflicts among construction players, resulting in cost overruns, time overruns, disputes, and
project failure. However, the current practice in the traditional Design and Build (D&B) construction
results in the ineffectiveness of communication due to miscommunication arises. Hence, this paper
aims to highlight the benefit of Building Information Modelling (BIM) as an integrated communication
platform for Malaysian (D&B) projects. A systematic literature review has been adopted on the
effectiveness of BIM for communication in construction. The discussions reveal that BIM adoption able
to enhance effective communication platforms, especially for the D&B project that involves many
collaborations throughout a project's lifecycle. From the current practices of BIM in Malaysian D&B
projects, it can be concluded that it is vital for Government to strengthen the enforcement of BIM
adoption in the Malaysian construction industry, as it facilitated the delivery of information throughout
the project's lifecycle, collaborative and coordinative work, and reduce the redundancies of information
which consequently produced many benefits to every construction stakeholders significantly enhancing
productivity to ensure the deliverable of project success. |
