Education and awareness (P3)
Establishment of BIM education
programs from professional to
apprentice will keep the construction
industry informed about the
implementation of BIM. BIM gather a
group of skill set such as architect,
engineer, quantity survey, contractors
and facility management. Education at
the early stage will provide capacity
and capability to implement BIM.
BIM awareness among construction
industry players is important. Since
BIM adoption change rapidly across
the globe, construction industry players
need to aware about BIM. To increase
awareness,comprehensive programme
and activities need to be organised.
Quick info
About 20 public universities, 33 private
universities and university colleges, 22
polytechnics, 37 community colleges and
500 private colleges was listed under The
