Malaysia's Construction Industry Shifts to New Technology, From BIM to Construction Metaverse
Published
The construction industry worldwide is currently undergoing rapid technological change, including in Malaysia. This change is moving the industry beyond the use of BIM and closer to a new field known as the construction metaverse.
BIM, or Building Information Modelling, is a method that uses digital models to design, build and manage a building. This method helps engineers, architects and contractors share project information more systematically. In recent years, BIM has been widely used in many construction projects.
The construction metaverse, on the other hand, refers to a more advanced digital environment in which building models and project processes can be viewed and tested in a virtual space. This technology is expected to help parties involved in a project collaborate more easily, even when they are in different locations. However, its use is still at an early stage in the industry.
Overall, the shift to these new technologies shows how the way buildings are designed and constructed in Malaysia is being reshaped. The construction industry needs to keep adapting to these developments in order to remain relevant in the nation's development landscape.
