Customer industry
Adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) Skillset
K&P Cove Consultancy provided three main services which are Consultancy Services, Inspection Services and also Refurbishment Services. They have worked on various types of projects involving Infrastructure, Institutional Building, Medical Centre, Heritage Building, Government Building, Residential Building, Commercial Building and many more.Building Information Modelling (BIM) were previously not implemented in K&P Cove in any of their projects. The biggest challenge faced by the construction industry for BIM adoption is the lack of BIM expertise to implement in the projects. K&P Cove did not have any expertise in BIM among their Building Surveyors, Assistant Building Surveyors, Project Executives and Draughtsman.Many advantages of BIM cannot be utilized by K&P Cove throughout their projects without BIM Implementation. A Building Surveyor’s job spans across the lifecycle of a construction project, they can gain the best and the most extensive benefits from BIM. Building Surveyor’s job is predominantly to work with various measurements, values, costs, schedules dimensions and demarcations that are derived from reliable and accurate sources of data. BIM actively helps surveyors in accessing and analyzing all this data in the form of geometries, numerals, and necessary information.
BIM Implementation on Marine Engineering Polytechnic Project
BIM UMP Holdings provides four main services which are organizational transformation, project and consultancy, training and education and research and development. They have many facilities to ensure seamless collaboration and coordination among stakeholders such as a BIM LAB equipped with 24 workstations, Multi-monitors Project Coordination rooms (BIM BIG ROOMS), Technical Coordination and Management room, Seminar room and more. The BIM UMPH team has been involved with many types of projects such as Institutional Building, Public Housing, Government Building, and Residential Building. They also get involved with the development of CIDB National BIM Module, CITP BIM Ecosystem Programme, National BIM technical training and organizational BIM Transformation Programme to assist companies to adopt and implement BIM applications.During projects that involved BIM, the most common challenges faced by the construction industry are BIM adoption and BIM readiness due to lack of manpower expertise to implement the work. Even though UMPH is fully capable to execute the BIM works, the rest of contractors and consultants are lacking behind in BIM capabilities. Due to the nature of the Construction industry, it is crucial for all project stakeholders to have full understanding and BIM capabilities according to work needs.Other than that, the construction industry also faces unclear or confusing scope of work, unclear standard for data management, and poor process flow coordination between digital and physical activities. The issue regarding coordination will still arise even with BIM application; hence, why proper site validation and verification is very important to ensure a smooth BIM workflow.
