Abstract

The Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been perceived as a powerful technology in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. Its capabilities in representing physical and functional characteristics of a facility in the form of digitalization further enhancing its potential in heritage sector. Despite its huge potential, BIM is more widely spread and use in the new build construction projects compared to existing and historic buildings. Therefore, this paper attempts to identify the potential of the application of BIM in the heritage sector and challenges that hinder its implementation. A semi structured interview was conducted amongst a purposive sample of ten (10) stakeholders from different organizations who have the knowledge in BIM and heritage matters in Malaysia. The study found that the integration of BIM in conservation activity provides opportunities for documentation, cost and time reduction, sustainable project, elimination of lengthy traditional works, integration of different kinds of data into single model, and better communication and coordination between project teams. Using the NVivo 8.0 software, these potentials are further classified into four emergent themes: management tool; information sharing; sustainability; and knowledge enhancement. While lack of the software expertise and specialist has been identified as the most fundamental issue facing the implementation of HBIM in heritage sector of Malaysia, the paper concludes with recommendations in promoting the HBIM adoption in Malaysia conservation activity. © 2022, Construction Research Institute of Malaysia.
