Product Description

  Welcome to the fifteenth issue of Malaysian Construction Research Journal (MCRJ). The editorial team would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all contributing authors and reviewers for their contributions and continuous support to MCRJ. It is hope that the readers will find beneficial information from this edition of this journal. A total of 6 papers published in this issue which mostly will discuss on the Building Information Modelling (BIM) in construction. The first paper by Mohd Harris, et. al. proposes the way forward for BIM for contractors in Malaysia. They investigate the barriers, potential solutions and benefits of implementing BIM for contractors in Malaysia. The study revealed that some organisations resist change or are still not ready to adopt BIM as a tool in their projects. This paper offers practical recommendations on the two main issues; i.e. people and technology needed to be addressed, besides the continuous government support programs and serious enforcement policies and regulations which are inevitable.
