【 摘 要 】

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a new yet disruptive technology being promoted among the architecture and engineering sectors especially in Malaysia when it will become mandatory from 2020 onwards. To facilitate the successful adoption of BIM among construction firms, it is necessary to initiate a change in firm culture. This study used a previously created and validated survey instrument to measure factors in firm culture that affected the success and difficulty in BIM adoption among firms in Sabah and Sarawak. Data was collected via email invitation to an online survey instrument sent to 20933 construction firms in East Malaysia with a total response rate of 1.8%. Results show that successful BIM adoption correlate strongly with the encouraging employee innovation, including employees in the decision-making process, software training for employees, having up-to-date software and role of technology in the consultant coordination process. The results also show that medium sized firms have an easier transition to BIM while smaller firms have a more difficult transition to BIM.
