“…Among the other challenges mentioned by the study participants where they faced challenges to get the project. This is because, they have invested to buy BIM, so they have to face to find a project that requires BIM so that it is more worthwhile (Farouk et al, 2023). The participants also gave an insight into the initiatives taken by the company in facing these challenges to give exposure to the client because the client is the paymaster who needs BIM in the project.…”

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is one of the innovative approaches that has been developed and widely accepted in the construction industry. In Malaysia, BIM usage is still low and not many firms have taken full advantage of its potential despite theinvestment in BIM being proven to be well worth the cost of implementation to organizations. Therefore, this study has been conducted to identify the current status of BIM implementation in Malaysia. This study uses a qualitative approach with an explanatory research design to explore the phenomenon of BIM implementation in the construction industry. This study was aimed to identify the readiness and challenges in BIM implementation from twelve (12) participantsfrom consultants and contractors in Malaysiawho have already implemented and not have implemented BIM where the researcher used purposive sampling technique with snowballing sampling. In obtaining the data from participants, the researcher has conducted a semi-structured interview data collection technique. The data were then analyzedusing thematic analysis to identify patterns and themes among the research questions in two categories of participants. This study finds that the rate of BIM implementation in construction industry is very low and the most factors influence companies’ readiness in BIM implementation from both categories of participants are client, enforcement from authority and lack of project that needs BIM. This study also found that the most challenges faced in BIM implementation areBIM exposure, cost implementation and others. In addition to that, this study proposing effective strategies for enhancing the BIM implementation in Malaysia such as introducing of BIM in university curriculum, BIM enforcement from the authority and others.

“…The data collection method for this study is open-ended interviews. This approach has been used in other works in construction management research, including identifying COVID-19 impacts on construction and Factors, challenges and strategies of trust in BIM-Based construction projects [19][20][21]. The interviewees selected for in-depth interviews are from the Grade 1 to Grade 5 construction companies registered under Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) in Malaysia.…”

Railway mega-projects are typically enormous large-scale investment projects that require a long time to develop and build. However, compared to other types of transportation, the railway is a safe mode of land transportation. Therefore, development such as railway mega-projects positively impacts small and medium construction companies. This study aims to study the impact of railway mega-projects on small and medium construction companies and investigate the problems that small and medium construction companies experience involving railway mega-projects. This study used a qualitative method of open-ended interviews to collect data from small and medium construction companies. The collected data from twenty individuals were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. The results show that the challenges of mega railway projects are divided into technical and resources. Apart from that, job opportunities are the main factor contributing to the impact of mega railway projects. The study contributes by providing insights on the impact of mega railway projects on small and medium construction companies and the challenges involving mega railway projects.

“…The interviewer, in most cases, is the subject matter expert who intends to understand respondents' opinions [9,10]. This approach has been used in other works in construction management research, including identifying COVID-19 impacts on the construction industry and factors, challenges, and strategies of trust in BIM-Based construction projects [11,12]. The study starts by introducing the study objectives and problem statement.…”

Post-COVID-19 has strongly impacted the construction industry worldwide; many parties took alternatives to facilitate the relatively overdue work arrangements. The Malaysian construction industry has been directly affected and has had to increase the adoption of One-Stop Centre (OSC) electronic submissions. According to the Malaysian online system submission policies, it is necessary to obtain construction approval from the OSC through the implementation by town councils. Not understanding the process and documents involved in this procedure might result in ineffective submissions. Hence, the study objectives are to identify: 1) The current submission process and documents for construction approval to town councils, and 2) Issues related to the e-submission process. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with individuals from twenty town (20) city councils in Malaysia to achieve those objectives. The results indicate that the general process includes submitting the required documents through the OSC, validation of submittals, and meeting approvals. The required documents include planning permissions, drawings, engineering plans, environmental management plans, landowner documents, and approvals by other government agencies. Finally, the issues with the e-submission include technical problems and the lack of experience of all involved stakeholders. These findings can be used by policymakers to improve the submission system and industry practitioners in acquiring construction approvals.
