Although the BIM implementation in Malaysia is still in a low level, it is advised that industry players and government should work together to migrating from traditional method to BIM environment. However, more time are expected to be consumed in producing the models as it was found that there is a low level of model sharing between engineers and architects.

From structural engineers’ perspective, a better visualization with building information models is critical to address these major problems occurred throughout the migration. was lacked for small-scaled companies and self-transformation plan is not available which is believed to minimize the lost during transformation. The technical supports such as internet supports, cloud system and etc.

In the perspectives of engineers, migrating from 2D drawing to building information model is discussed with the faced problems and challenges. The BIM projects in Malaysia are listed and it showed a low local BIM implementation. In this paper, the structural package available in BIM platform is summarized and its maturity is discussed. Many researchers have proved the benefits gained from BIM. BIM is one of the long-waiting solutions for construction industry in order to solve the arisen quality and effectiveness problems. Building information modelling (BIM) is one of the revolutions in construction industry.
