Abstract

Construction industry known as complicated, risky and uncertain that certainly contribute to project delay, cost overrun, low product quality and others. Building Information Modelling (BIM) knows as a promising platform that can solve those problems. BIM has been developed at a rapid pace to cope with the increasing complexity and difficulty of project management. The construction players especially contractors still unclear about what BIM truly is, how and when to use it. The purpose of this paper is to explore the extent of which use of BIM producing potential benefits across construction project life phase. The exploration is done by collecting secondary data from 56 contractors (G7) across Klang Valley. The data of were analysed using descriptive analysis which are the frequency analysis, average mean and cross-tab analysis. Based on contractors Level of Development (LOD), most benefits can be obtained were from the Design Phase rather from Construction Phase and Facilities, Operations and Maintenance Phase.
