Abstract:
The construction industry relies on the collaboration of stakeholders for a successful
outcome, as most the stakeholders are from multidisciplinary organisation to achieve a
particular goal. In addition, information in the construction industry must be more
accurate and on time to increase the project performance. Even though cloud-based
collaboration can be a useful tool for working with the stakeholder, is not being used
widely yet. Therefore, it is required to analyse the feasibility of collaborative
stakeholders’ participation on cloud-based Building Information Modelling. Hence, this
paper outlines: the level of stakeholder collaborative involvement in cloud-based
Building Information Modelling; the benefits of stakeholder collaborative involvement
through cloud-based Building Information Modelling; limitation for the cloud-based
Building Information Modelling; as well as strategies to overcome these limitations.
Findings of the study indicated that even though, the benefits derived from the
stakeholder collaboration are high, the collaborative involvement level in cloud-based
Building Information Modelling is very low due to several limitations. therefore, this
study propose some strategies to overcome the limitations such as: the government can
provide training and awareness programmes; formulate regulations allowing for
electronic-data processing to lower tax; develop Building Information Modelling
execution plans with assistance from the Construction Industry Development Authority;
and improve Building Information Modelling Execution plans with the technology.
