The adoption and impact of Building Information Modelling (BIM) towards Facilities Management (FM) in Malaysia/ Nur Aisyah Azmi, Noor Akmal Adillah Ismail and Azzri Fazril Rosman

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is gaining traction in the construction industry for its potential to enhance Facilities Management (FM) through advanced visualization, analysis, and control. However, in Malaysia, the integration of BIM within FM is still emerging, with significant untapped pot...

A qualitative research approach through interviews were conducted with five (5) FM professionals, including facility managers, BIM coordinators, and consultants, selected through purposive sampling to ensure a broad understanding of BIM in FM. The results were then analysed using content analysis to assess the current practice of BIM implementations in FM, potential applications, and the level of interest in the utilization of BIM in FM.
