Abstract:

Building Information Modelling (BIM) concept is considered a new concept that should be introduced to construction practitioners as it is not widely used in the Malaysian construction industry. It is a contemporary evolving methodology that simplifies the design and construction process by using digital illustration. BIM is the preparation and process of a simulated model and structure all the way through its lifespan. The application of BIM can be utilized in every phase of construction activity starting from planning right until operation. Unluckily, the application of BIM in the Malaysian construction industry is very slow. This slow application is initiated by the individual itself and methodological difficulty, known as internal and external difficulty. Internal difficulties are initiated by the individual itself and expenditure, typically to discover contemporary tools and practices of the software. Whereas external difficulties are interrelated to the deficiency of confidence in contemporary software applications. Therefore, this study intends to evaluate the proper image of BIM applications in the Malaysian construction industry, and the benefits experienced by the usage of BIM implementation are identified particularly for Quantity Surveyors in Malaysia. 278 responded to the structured questionnaire which involve Quantity Surveyors all over Malaysia based on data retrieved from the Board of Quantity Surveyor Malaysia website. The finding showed the benefits of BIM which will be counted among Quantity Surveyors which will further enhance the awareness of the benefits of BIM to the Quantity Surveyor profession itself.
