| Summary: | Recently, the construction industry has been moving towards industrial revolution 4.0 which has transformed the construction industry into a competitive digital ecosystem by adopting BIM. BIM has emerged as a major accelerator in Engineering and Construction industry operations since it is used to improve visualization and productivity, the coordination of construction drawings and communication, planning, delivery, take-off and estimation, and off-site manufacturing. Thus, contractors have a vital role in adopting BIM for transferring data from drawing to reality. Despite potential benefits for contractors through the adoption of BIM, they are commonly regarded as slow adopters, lagging far behind when compared to other stakeholders. A preliminary study affirms that contractors are slow adopters and that the tools to assess and evaluate their BIM performance are absent. The failure to appreciate and comprehend existing BIM assessment models/tools from developed and developing countries have limited construction players’ and contractors’ benefits from BIM. For this reason, the research aims to develop a BIM Adoption Assessment Tool for BIM-based projects in Malaysia. Data was obtained from unstructured interviews with 4 participants and semi-structured interviews with 8 participants as a preliminary study. |
