Abstract
Information technology (IT) developments in the construction industry require a
proportionate response by construction professionals. Building information modelling (BIM)
requires strategic changes to the traditional ways construction is carried out. BIM adoption in
Malaysia is growing because of recent efforts to sensitise construction professionals on the
need for strategic IT implementation. This paper builds on the theory of business process reengineering and computer integrated construction for a BIM adoption model. Data were
collected from 352 construction professionals (architects, quantity surveyors, engineers and
contractors). The data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS)
version 18 for descriptive modelling and Analysis of Moment of Structures (AMOS) version 18
for structural equation modelling. Descriptive results showed a high prevalence of the need
for BIM competent professionals. Multivariate results revealed a high correlation within the
measurement model for business process re-engineering and computer integrated
construction. The second-order confirmatory model showed that business process reengineering and computer integrated construction had a high impact on strategic IT
Implementation. Overall, the model validated the conceptual framework of the impact of
strategic IT implementation on the adoption rate of BIM in the perception of construction
industry professionals in Malaysia. The result denotes the first part of the full adoption model,
which can be compared with the adoption rate in other countries. Subsequent research
using a diverse sample selection focuses on the mediating effect of collaboration on BIM
adoption.
