BIM implementation has been exceptionallyslow in theconstruction industry in comparison to industries such as manufacturingand engineering. The construction industryin Sarawak is beginningto change as building clients and authoritiesmandatedthe use of BIM consistentwith the CIDBtransformationroadmap and Industrial Revolution 4.0.This paper is a part of a research projectthat examines the strategies associated with the implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in Sarawak construction industry.
