Abstract
Information and technology has produced large changes to construction industry and leads to innovative nations globally. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is one of the IT platforms to rely on the process of planning, design, construction, and operation of a building in 3D dimension to promote collaborative and integration between the parties in the construction projects environment. BIM is defined as a parametric modeling to support project life cycle through relevant data and information shared among project stakeholders. BIM roadmap is a strategic plan by the government of Malaysia to ensure a wider adoption of BIM embraced among industry players. However, despite the existence of strategic implementation plan recently developed by the Government of Malaysia through CIDB, the implementation plan has less emphasis on strategic analysis elements (i.e., capacity, support, and value). Hence, the objective of this paper is to incorporate the strategic analysis elements (i.e., capacity, support, and value) in the existing Malaysia BIM roadmap pillars based on the lesson learnt from Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong. A qualitative research technique was employed in the form of document analysis for the establishment of Malaysia's BIM roadmap, while a formal workshop with experts from representatives of Public Work Department and Ministry of Health (directly involved in the first BIM Malaysia's pilot project of National Cancer Institute) for the establishment strategic analysis elements (i.e. capacity, support, and value) to be embedded in the roadmap. The findings suggest that the strategic analysis elements (i.e., capacity, support, and value) to be incorporated in the existing Malaysia's BIM roadmap has seven pillars (i.e., standards and accreditation, collaboration and incentives education and awareness, national BIM library, BIM guidelines, special interest group (SIG); research and development (R&D). The outcomes could act as a guideline to industry players for future development of BIM-based projects in Malaysia.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
