The works ministry plans to undertake a pilot project using building information modelling with four local authorities before getting others on board as well.
KUALA LUMPUR: All 20 local authorities with city status in Malaysia will be using the building information modelling technology in their initial project submissions by 2021, says works ministry secretary-general Syed Omar Sharifuddin Syed Ikhsan.
The local authorities are Putrajaya Corporation, Petaling Jaya City Council, Melaka Historical City Council and the Kangar Municipal Council. “The time is now for the industry to pay greater attention to advanced technologies such as BIM, because its adoption is a key changer to ensure the construction industry maintains its competitiveness on the local and international fronts,” he added, before opening BIM Day 2019 here today.
The technology, a better alternative to 3D computer-aided design modelling, also enables developers to cut down on rework and duplication of drawings for the different requirements of building disciplines as the model contains more information than a drawing set, which allows each discipline to annotate and connect its “intelligence” to the project.
