BIM is Now Mandatory in Malaysia in 2025: How FOX Helps You Stay Compliant

Starting 1 July 2025, Building Information Modelling (BIM) becomes mandatory for all construction projects in Malaysia valued at RM10 million and above. More details in this article.

This directive, issued under Pekeliling Perbendaharaan PK 1.15, applies to both public and private sector projects. It mandates the use of BIM across the entire project lifecycle from planning to facilities management.

Whether you are a developer, consultant, or facilities team, this shift requires immediate digital readiness.

What the BIM Mandate Means for Your Projects

1. BIM is required for all new construction and infrastructure projects costing RM10 million or more.
2. Applies to both government and private sector developments.
3. Covers buildings, roads, utilities, and sewage infrastructure.
4. BIM must be used from the design stage through to asset and facility management.
5. Exemptions must be approved in writing by the Director General of JKR before any procurement or tender process begins.
