Abstract

The innovation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) has gained much attention among construction players around the world.The adoption of BIM software has proven to be beneficial to the construction organisation in term of design, analysis, construction, operation and data management.The utilization of BIM software would lead to an effective planning and scheduling, encourage collaboration among technical team member and increase overall quality of the project.In recent years, rapid development of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in construction have witness numerous BIM software available in market where each tools offer wide variety of functionality, features and cost.Thus, it is identified that there is a needs to aid decision making for construction organization in order to select appropriate BIM software to a particular project needs.This paper discusses the some aspect of BIM, Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Decision Support System (DSS) as decision tools in BIM selection.A documental analysis was performed to gather information regarding the DSS building block and data needed to support the decision model development. Literature suggests that software selection criteria can be categorize under technical, managerial and cost consideration.24 distinct criteria with 44 alternatives (from 11 vendors) are presented in the paper.In addition, a conceptual model of decision hierarchy is illustrates to be embedded in the DSS prototype. It is also anticipated that the work demonstrated in this paper may improved the developement of DSS for BIM software selection as it is vital to increase productivity, construction project throughout building lifecycle.
