KUCHING: The Works Ministry is proposing the use of highway information modelling (HIM) in the construction of the Pan-Borneo Highway to reduce errors and cost.

Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said HIM was a combination of geo-spatial information system (GIS) and building information modelling (BIM) aimed to minimise errors during the construction of the highway by visualising, monitoring and tracking the progress of contractors.
