Adoption and implementation of building information modeling (BIM) by the government in the Indonesian construction industry

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the development of concepts of collaboration and integration in the construction industry. This concept was introduced in Indonesia formally by the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) in 2017. Since its introduction, by the Indonesian government the PUPR ministry has made BIM Roadmap, created BIM Team PUPR, and issued ministerial regulations mandating the use of BIM on a state-owned building. BIM provides many benefits that can be utilized by every stakeholder involved in the project. Previous research has focused more on the readiness of the Indonesian construction industry in utilizing BIM. However, studies that focus on the implementation of BIM by the Indonesian government are still very limited. A literature review is used as the main method in this journal to collect information from government publications. This study provides updated information related to government efforts to implement BIM in Indonesia.
