Adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in Facilities Management (FM) Practices in Malaysia

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a collaborative process that transforms the capturing, sharing, and development of construction project information, essential for the planning, design, and construction of buildings. However, the application of BIM in Facilities Management (FM) is still emerging, particularly in Malaysia, where its integration within FM practices has not been extensively studied. This study uses an online questionnaire distributed to FM companies across Malaysia to assess the awareness, barriers, and potential of BIM within the FM sector. Data collected have been analysed by using SPSS, with descriptive analysis, frequency analysis, and the Relative Importance Index (RII). The findings will highlight key challenges in BIM adoption and outline strategies to enhance its integration into FM practices, providing valuable insights to help FM practitioners optimize the benefits of BIM in the Malaysian FM industry.
