Permodelan Maklumat Bangunan (BIM) dijangka akan dimandatkan bermula 2019 dan seterusnya bagi projek awam di Malaysia. Namun, pelaksanaan BIM masih lagi di peringkat awal. Oleh itu, terdapat keperluan segera untuk kerajaan memantau corak pembangunan BIM dalam industri pembinaan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan dan menilai fasa pembangunan BIM dalam industri pembinaan dengan mengambilkira aspek kemampanan dan penawaran-permintaan berdasarkan dua perspektif, iaitu kontraktor (permintaan) dan institusi akademik, tertumpu kepada pelajar tahun akhir (penawaran). Penemuan dari kajian soal selidik menunjukkan bahawa 72% kontraktor masih di fasa kesedaran pembangunan BIM; manakala 22% di fasa adaptasi, 3% di fasa adopsi dan 3% di fasa penggunaan. Di samping itu, hasil kajian juga menunjukkan bahawa 73% kontraktor berpendapat bahawa tiada keperluan mendesak untuk graduan mahir BIM. Dari perspektif penawaran, hanya 19% bakal graduan mempunyai pengalaman BIM selama 1 hingga 5 tahun yang menonjolkan keperluan institusi akademik untuk menyediakan lebih banyak latihan (kemahiran) dan kemudahan berkaitan BIM pada masa akan datang. Selain itu, 68% kontraktor hanya menyedari sumbangan BIM ke arah kemampanan alam sekitar berbanding dengan kemampanan ekonomi (43%) dan sosial (11%). Dijangkakan kajian ini dapat membantu kerajaan dalam memantau pembangunan BIM dalam industri pembinaan serta menyumbang kepada kesusasteraan dan pengetahuan khususnya dalam bidang kejuruteraan awam dan pengurusan pembinaan.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is anticipated to be mandated starting 2019 onwards for public projects in Malaysia. However, the BIM implementation is still at a nascent stage. Therefore, there is urgency for the Government to monitor the trend of BIM development in the construction industry. This study aims to determine and evaluate the current phase of BIM development in the construction industry with the consideration of sustainability aspects and demand-supply based on two perspectives, namely contractors (demand) and academic institutions, focusing on final year students (supply). The findings from the questionnaire survey show that 72% of the contractors are still at the awareness phase of BIM development; whereas 22% at the adaptation phase, 3% at the adoption phase and 3% at the application phase. In addition, the results also indicate that 73% of the contractors perceive that there is no urgent demand on BIM skilled graduates. From the supply perspective, only 19% of the future graduates have 1 to 5 years of experience on BIM highlighting the needs for academic institutions to provide more BIM related-training (skills), facilities and networking in the future. Additionally, 68% of the contractors are only aware of BIM contribution towards environmental sustainability compared to economic (43%) and social (11%) sustainability. It is expected that this study can assist the government in monitoring the development of BIM in the construction industry as well as contributes to the literature and knowledge particularly in the civil engineering and construction management area.
