Building Information Modeling: Quality of life
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) constitutes a paradigm shift in the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. Broader BIM adoption will transform construction processes to achieve greater efficiency to improve the quality of life (QOL) of construction stakeholders. This paper seeks to identify determinant factors and implementation gaps of BIM in the AEC industry. A case study was conducted through a preliminary workshop organised by CIDB among the five potential stakeholders from Malaysian public and private. Finally, the workshop suggested an ‘affordable BIM concept' with ‘pay-per-use or periodical license' method to be adopted for SMEs contractors.
