Building Information Modelling (BIM) integrated with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is revolutionizing the construction industry by enhancing digital documentation, site surveying, inspection, safety, and project delivery processes. However, the adoption of UAV-BIM technologies in construction faces challenges, including high costs, regulatory compliance, and resistance to change within the industry. These barriers hinder widespread implementation despite the potential benefits. Therefore, this study explores the barriers to the integration of BIM and UAV technology to be adopted for construction projects in Malaysia. This study was conducted using a survey of questionnaires distributed to construction industry players involved in Malaysian construction projects. The survey results were then analyzed descriptively using SPSS software, adopting frequency analysis and average mean index. Findings highlight critical barriers including weather-induced image quality issues, the demand for skilled personnel, and inadequate worker training. In conclusion, while the integration of BIM with UAV technology promises significant advancements in construction efficiency and safety, overcoming current barriers is essential for realizing its full potential in Malaysia. Strategic initiatives and industry-wide collaboration are crucial to fostering a conducive environment for technology adoption, thereby enhancing project outcomes and driving industry growth in the digital age. Future research should continue to explore these challenges and refine implementation strategies to accelerate the adoption of BIM-UAV technologies in construction practices.

摘要

Building Information Modelling (BIM) integrated with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is revolutionizing the construction industry by enhancing digital documentation, site surveying, inspection, safety, and project delivery processes. However, the adoption of UAV-BIM technologies in construction faces challenges, including high costs, regulatory compliance, and resistance to change within the industry. These barriers hinder widespread implementation despite the potential benefits. Therefore, this study explores the barriers to the integration of BIM and UAV technology to be adopted for construction projects in Malaysia. This study was conducted using a survey of questionnaires distributed to construction industry players involved in Malaysian construction projects. The survey results were then analyzed descriptively using SPSS software, adopting frequency analysis and average mean index. Findings highlight critical barriers including weather-induced image quality issues, the demand for skilled personnel, and inadequate worker training. In conclusion, while the integration of BIM with UAV technology promises significant advancements in construction efficiency and safety, overcoming current barriers is essential for realizing its full potential in Malaysia.
