Capability & Capacity Building - Global BIM Network

This BIM Guide, published by myBIM is formulated as a fundamental approach to educate construction players for the BIM adoption in Malaysia. The Guide enables construction industry players to improve productivity and efficiency of the construction process by adopting higher usage of modern technology. This is in line with the Construction Industry Transformation Programme (CITP) which aims to raise productivity level across the Malaysian construction industry. This BIM Guide provides directive, references and process guidelines to the construction players at both organisational and project level and has been published in three booklets. This guide forms as the final part 3, BIM Implementation. Part 1 and 2 look cover the topics of BIM Awareness and BIM Readiness.

This guide is booklet 3 of the suite of 3 published and aims to assist readers in identifying the factors to consider when adopting BIM. This booklet will explain BIM project requirement, roles and responsibilities, infrastructure needs, deliverables and execution plan. Understanding the basic and fundamental of BIM will assist readers to know HOW BIM can be adopted in their organisations/projects. This booklet will explain the decision making process prior to BIM adoption.
For further understanding and clarification of the BIM adoption processes, it is advisable for the construction players to acquire skills and knowledge by attending the myBIM BIM Roadshow, BIM training programs provided by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) and refer to Jabatan Kerja RayaÂ’s (JKR) BIM Guideline.

The emergence of BIM promises a greater opportunities for the construction industry in Malaysia. A decade ago, BIM was just buzzword. Since then, BIM has increasingly been embraced by many local players. Seeing the benefits, the Public Work Department (PWD) has institutionalised the BIM process since 2007. The efforts that have been made are obviously in line with the aims and objectives that were envisioned for Malaysia through the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP), the Eleventh Malaysia Plan (RMK11) and the Construction Industry Transformation Programme (CITP).

BIM Guide 4: Execution is a continuation from the earlier published 3 part BIM Guide books – BIM Guide 1 (Awareness); BIM Guide 2 (Readiness); and BIM Guide 3 (Adoption). This book contains specific guidelines for BIM implementation which are required to enhance the direction of BIM adoption at the National level. It also provides a direction and framework to initiate BIM processes in their respective organisations. The BIM Guide serves as a resource for policymakers, industry players, academicians and researchers in order to move towards more effective BIM implementation in Malaysia. This BIM Execution Plan serves as a guideline and reference for the construction players to implement and execute BIM in their project. This initiative is part of the strategy to assist the industry players to move from BIM Level 1 to Level 2 in 2020.
This BIM Guide is divided into three parts:
– Part 1: Introduction to BIM Execution Plan
– Part 2: A case study on BIM implementation Public Work Department (PWD) and SIME Darby Property Sdn. Bhd.
– Part 3: Sample of BIM Execution Plan
This BIM Guide will be updated periodically based on industryÂ’s needs.

The BIM Guide 5 Â– Â’BIM Project GuideÂ’ is a document that is published by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) to promote and support the use of BIM in the Malaysian construction industry. Accordingly, the BIM Guide 5 Â– Â‘BIM Project GuideÂ’ is a continuation from the series of BIM guide books, namely BIM Guide 1- Awareness, BIM Guide 2- Readiness, BIM Guide 3- Adoption, and BIM Guide 4- BIM Execution Plan. More importantly, this guide draws on the best BIM practices implemented by a number of countries and local organisations around the world. The uptake and understanding of BIM within Malaysian construction industry is expected to increase since the release of the previous series of BIM guidebooks. CIDB has worked together with public agencies alliance including Public Work Department (JKR), professional bodies, and private organisations in developing this guide that focuses on the consistent approach of BIM utilisation in a project. The BIM Guide 5 Â– Â‘BIM Project GuideÂ’ is developed substantially with BS EN ISO 19650 with the aim of outlining the processes of BIM implementation in a construction project. Overall, it is hoped that the BIM Guide 5 – BIM Project Guide is able to assist construction industry players in implementing BIM and help to unlock BIM benefits for a wider Malaysian construction industry.

The BIM Guide 5 Â– Â‘BIM Project GuideÂ’ aims to outline the processes of BIM implementation in construction project. This guide is intended to be used to:
– promote the use of BIM throughout the life-cycle
– creates a common BIM understanding for the construction industry
– define BIM deliverables in construction project
– clarifies the process for implementing BIM in construction project
– define roles and responsibilities of project members.
This guide can be used as reference by project teams to implement BIM on a project when practical. It contains knowledge and practical experience of implementing BIM in the construction project. The guide is organised in several section consisting of:
– Section 1: Introduction
– Section 2: BIM basics in project
– Section 3: BIM workflow
– Section 4: BIM modelling and documentation practice.
This guide is developed substantially with BS EN ISO 19650 with the aim of outlining the processes of BIM implementation in a construction project. It also aligns with the PAS 1192 standards, which formed the basis of the UKÂ’s approach to BIM, but which are now being superseded as the BS EN ISO19650 series of documents is developed. The evolution of these standards facilitates a consistent approach to information management at both national and international level.

The global Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0) calls for Malaysian Construction Industry to transform their current approaches and practices in order to contribute significantly to the nation’s economic prosperity. IR4.0 will transform the Malaysian Construction Industry from intensive labour force-based industry to the use of automation and mechanisation to improve productivity and efficiency. The process involves optimising the conventional construction process towards Construction 4.0 through the application of advanced technologies. The introduction of BIM has helped transform the conventional construction process into an innovative delivery model. BIM requires specific legal and contractual requirements. In Malaysia, an increasing number of projects have started to use BIM at various levels since early 2000, however, contractual arrangements still remain conventional. To meet BIM requirement, the legal and contract terms should consider to be extended to digital construction production processes (model, data and information).

This document highlights the Legal & Contractual implications of BIM encountered by the Malaysian construction industry. Therefore, suggestions for improvement to accommodate Construction 4.0 are proposed. This document is designed to aid the stakeholders to embrace Construction 4.0 by addressing the challenges and proposing strategic outcomes. It should be read as the motivation to reform the Malaysian industry, thrusting the industry into Construction 4.0. This document provides the framework by categorising the case for change, where it currently is, where it wants to be and how it gets there? Leveraging on the legal and contractual issues of BIM implementation, this document suggests appropriate and specific action plans to drive the Malaysia Construction Industry productivity and efficiency towards Construction 4.0.

BIM Loket is working towards a sector in which working with BIM and open standards is the norm. As part of this they need to develop information and training related to BIM to upskill the industry and increase the capability to deliver these requirements. The BIM Loket website contains lots of information and support documentation like this guidance report on BIM in legislation and regulations. The project which led to the report, titled “Room for BIM in legislation and regulations” explores the possibilities and impossibilities within laws and regulations for the application of BIM as a uniform/standard working method. First of all, the research focuses on the use of BIM data/files when applying for the Environmental Permit within the existing permit practice. The main conclusion of the study is that obstacles in existing legislation stand in the way of a successful application of BIM. Investments in BIM by the construction sector therefore have less business and social return and even lead to extra costs and time requirements for clients and construction companies.

The time horizon of this report based on the exploration of opportunities for BIM in legislation and regulations is 3 years. Some of th questions asked in the report include: what is the low-hanging fruit in existing legislation and regulations, where are the urgency and the concrete possibilities for BIM in legislation and regulations in this period?With this focus on low-hanging fruit, this exploration provides the basis for a strategic agenda for realizing the opportunities for BIM in legislation and regulations in that period. This strategic agenda could be seamlessly incorporated into the Building Agenda and could be realized within 4 years of the current Government.
The main conclusion of the study is that investments in BIM by the construction sector have less commercial and social return and, on the contrary, lead to extra costs and time for clients and construction companies than would be possible if the obstacles to BIM in existing legislation are removed. A large part of the current obstacles to the use of BIM in the entire chain from initiative and design to use, management and maintenance are in existing legislation and regulations, especially in the Ministerial Regulation Environment Act (MOR) of the WABO. The MOR blocks the use of BIM in the permit application for the Environmental permit. Partly because of this, there is a lack of a strong incentive for the competent authority for the environmental permit and in particular for municipalities to prepare for receiving BIM data (especially IFC models) from the permit process and the reuse of this BIM data. for other policy objectives. The majority of municipalities hardly seem to prepare for BIM yet. In the survey conducted (a sample of construction companies working with BIM), the construction sector indicates that it is being urged to remove this blockage and in particular to add IFC to the list of permitted formats for attachments to the permit application for the Environmental Permit. In addition, the study has mapped out the opportunities for BIM in the Quality Assurance for Building Act (WKB) and in the Digital Government Act. In summary.

This two page leaflet looks at how the habits, behavior and persistence of corporate culture are often underestimated when introducing BIM within a companyÂ’s way of work. Working with BIM requires employees to develop different competences. It also requires a change in mindset. In this leaflet the most common BIM roles in the Dutch construction sector and the accompanying competences expected from the employees are described and explained. BIM roles can be added to an employeeÂ’s existing job description and used in assessments, they can also be used as educational targets/goals for employees.
