BIM Advantages And Disadvantages In Malaysia

Cubicost offers four sorts of individual BIM-based programming items, in particular the Cubicost Take-off for Architecture and Structure (TAS), Cubicost Take-off for Rebar (TRB), Cubicost Take-off for Mechanical and Electrical (TME), and Cubicost TBQ. Having said that, Cubicost is really the distinct advantage of the innovation that is being utilized by surveyors today. Cubicost recently made this software accessible in a sum of fifteen nations around the globe, which are United Kingdom, USA, Finland, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Sweden, United Arab Emirates, India, Indonesia, and Philippines.

The effective use of the BI software ever will be a competitive differentiator for SYSCO. The BI software seems to be very efficient in its role of helping the company to address its issues. First of all, the software helps the company compare a given client's activity what is typical for a customer of it size, type, geography then generate them. Consequently, the company can know what customers are actually ordering, so that they can gain the understanding about the customers' need . Also, this work would be a big problem if it was done manually. However, with BI software it seems much more easy for a SYSCO marketing associate in one operating company to access date from another one.

There are top 25 works can be done by BIM in Construction Industry and every BIM use has different frequency and benefit. The works done by using BIM in construction industry are as follows:

In his paper, the author explains us how the technology advancement is taking place, how 2D modelling started initially, how it led to 3D modelling and now how building information modelling techniques are being linked to 3D modelling. BIM is not just about modelling, but it also includes project planning, design and construction. He clearly explains what BIM is in the form of a flow chart. Where he says that B in BIM stands for Residential, commercial, healthcare, institutional, sports and entertainment, I in BIM stands for Spatial, element, systems, quantities, schedule, operations and M in BIM stands for site, architectural, structural, MEP systems, sustainability and management. This all phases of the program are a continuous chain where programming, design, pre construction, construction, operations, and demolition are done. This research also supports that the concept of building information modelling is not only useful for the building’s geometric modelling, but also it can assist in the management of construction projects. In this research, the author has collected information from 35 construction projects that have already utilized BIM. The most common result that was observed was the cost reduction. For some people, BIM is a software application, where as for others, it is a process for designing and documenting

SYSCO decided to address initially only two questions in order to facilitate the learning process of the software by using just a limited and straightforward array of its features. In this way, the 100 operating companies and 45,000 employees would become comfortable with the software’s functionalities, and aware of the innovative power of BI. This approach can be compared with the practice “working with commitment”. Indeed, “setting the right expectations at the beginning and managing them

(“Building Information Modeling”) BIM is digital, meaning it is able to be shared with all people working on the project so that it can be modified where it is needed. Along with being able to share, BIM is capable of showing how much pressure is applied to objects in the buildings. The materials these objects are made of can also be changed very easily with a few taps on a screen or clicks of a mouse. With all this in mind, where is building information technology going? Well, right now, it is going nowhere for a few reasons. People may take courses and tutorials in different programs, but in the end, it is still difficult to see errors. Most errors are able to blend in with the pieces that are in the correct place. The issue is that the computer isn’t aware. Computers are being given commands, they aren’t able to point out what is wrong because they don’t know. Another issue is that everyone working on a project using BIM must know what they are looking at and how to use the tools. Until these issues are resolved, BIM won’t be going into the future improved. (Azhar Salman, “Building Information Modeling (BIM): Benefits, Risks and

The government regulations of meeting level: 2 BIM is driven by the need for a system that can oversee everything that happens in a project, and also be seen by everyone involved in it. BIM major success in countries who have already adopted it has created a spark for the UK to take a step forward. But, what is BIM?

Using BIM Tools The goal of integrating BIM tools into your business process is to improve efficiency, constructability and predictability on your projects. This can be done with a combination of BIM tools that enable collaborating, coordinating and communicating during all phases of development, from design, through preconstruction, construction and operation. The entire project team, including designers, contractors, subcontractors, project management and building management can communicate openly.

The changes that have come about with the introduction of BIM usage within UK Government contracts necessitate for Education Institutes to re-evaluate existing construction specific courses to adequately implement BIM into the curriculums at all levels to provide continuing educational development within construction specific courses (Suwal, 2013).

The aim of this Literature Review is to gain an understanding of what Building Information Modelling (BIM) is, what SMEs are, establish the importance of BIM, why BIM should be implemented and to explore the key issues associated with the adoption and implementation of BIM by SMEs in a live construction environment.

Building information modeling (BIM) is a coordinated set of processes, supported by technology, that adds value by creating, managing and sharing the properties of an asset throughout its life-cycle. “Right the way through the asset life-cycle, BIM saves time and money. It enables more effective integration through-life information management as well as stronger business continuity.” Due to the “Faster and more effective processes” information is more efficiently and easily shared, can be value-added and reused. Of importance is the timely implementation of BIM during the inception phase to allow for the greatest productivity yield.

Although BIM proved its capability in design and construction phases, implementing BIM in FM can face some technology and organizational challenges such as “Diversity in BIM and FM software tools, and interoperability issues;” (Kiviniemi & Codinhoto, 2014, p. 666) and the resistant from some organizations to adapt new technologies. (Kiviniemi & Codinhoto, 2014, p. 666)current work processes and organizational structures should be adjusted to use BIM in FM, by training on the new software tools and process, also the organizations should assign responsible people for loading data into the database.

Originally, the concept of BIM is more related to a geometric model provided by the specific software platform, in which the most of the information is provided by the building designers, such as: architects and engineers. However, throughout this module, the concept of BIM, in my mind, is totally redefined and renewed.

BIM is the interpretation from traditional 2D model to 4D model which is scheduling using database through the building lifecycle. 4D BIM model links to the 3D elements with the project delivery timeline

To determine how BIM is useful and beneficial to various stakeholders in construction projects and to assess such benefits.
