Guidance - Global BIM Network

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.

The second version of this implementing directive builds on the previously laid foundation and has been supplemented with feedback and insights from the professional field. This renewed BIM basis ILS offers guidance and tips for the structured and unambiguous exchange of information in construction. The guide goes through the various steps of information exchange, from section 1 on why we exchange information through to Section 4 which looks at what information is required as a minimum in the development of the 3D models.

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 series of documents and downloads related to BIM in Infrastructure. Better use of digitization and computerization is an important ‘driver’ in enabling a productivity leap. Seamless exchange of digital information between clients and contractors is essential and accelerates the digitization of the infrastructure sector. This is only possible if all parties involved speak the same language. That is why the Department of Engineering Firms Construction Companies (VIB) of Bouwend Nederland and the BIM Loket are introducing the BIM basis Infra. With these agreements on data exchange, the sector is taking an important step towards better digital collaboration.

Client, contractor, supplier and subcontractor in the infrastructure sector have a common language for 3D modeling. The BIM basis Infra is not a new standard but an answer to the question: how are we going to exchange digital information in the infrastructure in a structured and unambiguous way? Agreements have been made with BIM basis Infra about the exchange of models, such as file names and type of CAD files (such as .dwg). But also which geographical coordinate system is used to position a bridge or road, so that all models fit together. In addition, we record what information we add to 3D models, such as used material (such as concrete or asphalt).

The Building Information Council (Bouw Informatie Raad, or BIR) promotes widespread application of BIM in the Dutch construction and infrastructure industry. BIR is a unique partnership between various stakeholders in the construction industry, where the members represent both their construction industry segment and their own company. They make practical agreements that are in the interests of the entire industry and ensure these are implemented within their own segment. The partnership focuses on implementing BIM to strengthen the quality, continuity and competitive position of the Dutch construction and infrastructure industry. The resources cotained on the website help to accelerate the development and adoption of BIM within the Netherlands.

This poster document available in PDF format is a graphical but also informative illustration which helps to highlight the multiple BIM uses promoted by BOUW. The BIM uses contained in the poster cover the various information exchnage stages from Gather, Generate, and Analyze, through to Communicate and Produce.

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.
