Abstract
This paper presents our initial study on Building Information Modeling (BIM) adoption urgency for architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry in Indonesia. Currently, BIM is being adopted by many countries around the world because of its’ efficiency and other benefits. Meanwhile, most of AEC industries in Indonesia still using the conventional method and there are no regulations from Indonesian AEC authority for adopting BIM. With that situation, a study of BIM adoption in Indonesian AEC industries is important. This study uses a qualitative approach with explorative type. Input from the survey is evaluated qualitatively using content analysis, distribution analysis and correspondence analysis method. Based on analysis result, it shows that BIM as a mean to encourage a more sustainable approach in AEC industry is still in its development phase but it shows great potentials and it gives stakeholders a better way to achieve sustainable built environment. Current lack of awareness and understanding of BIM in Indonesia, particularly in the education sector, is a key factor that impedes BIM adoption and one that can be addressed by integrating BIM into AEC curriculum. Government and practitioners alike need to develop a strategic roadmap to pave way for successful BIM implementation.
Highlights
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been used both as a modeling tool and design-construction process, around the world
Wong et al [3] mentioned that half of the industry in the United States of America (USA) was using BIM or BIM-related tools in 2009 alone
Study input based on survey data that had been taken from Indonesian BIM Implementation and Protocol Seminar held by Study Program of Architecture ITB in 2016
Summary
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been used both as a modeling tool and design-construction process, around the world. In Denmark, BIM was initiated by at least three public owners: The Palaces and Properties Agency, The Danish University and Property Agency and Defence Construction Service They have a significant impact due to IFC model requirements. Most of development and implementation is led by the Building Construction Authority (BCA) aiming 80% of construction industry adopting BIM by 2015. This intention was to improve industry productivity up to 25% over the decade. In Indonesia, most of AEC industries in Indonesia are still using conventional methods, such as 3D modelling and CAD, and there is no regulation from Indonesian authority for adopting BIM as part of building design and construction process. We would like to present our initial study on BIM adoption urgency in Indonesia and discuss how AEC industries are able to implement BIM in Indonesia as a sustainable approach for themselves as industries and for the environment itself
