Current BIM practices in Malaysian construction organisations: The stakeholders' perspective

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is transforming how buildings are designed and constructed. At the same time, it can facilitate multi-disciplinary coordination whilst integrating 3D design, analysis, cost estimating and construction scheduling. Currently, due to poor coordination among its proj...

Currently, due to poor coordination among its project participants, the construction industry is still unproductive, fragmented and lacking in collaboration. Hence, with the introduction of BIM the performance of the industry, the coordination and collaboration among the construction players and the productivity of the projects could be improved.
