New IT software at INTI improves construction industry efficiency


The winning teams from INTI with mock cheques of their prizes.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a collaborative way of working which provides teams involved in a construction project with accessible, accurate data. BIM can promote better communication, greater efficiency, cost savings and reduced risk. The Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB) has advocated its use since 2014. However, in a survey conducted by CIDB, challenges that hinder the adoption of BIM in Malaysia include high training costs, lack of BIM knowledge and the inaccessibility of BIM trainings(1). To bridge the gap, INTI International University and China-based Glodon Company Limited launched a BIM Development Centre in the university’s campus.

This is part of INTI’s commitment to prepare career-ready professionals and embrace new standards and market trends. As the sole training partner of Glodon in Malaysia, INTI provides competency-based training to industry practitioners, as well as members of academia at its new BIM Development Centre. This will enable industry practitioners to be trained in Glodon’s BIM software called Cubicost at INTI and gain exemptions from the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF). Glodon also contributed to the licenses for the software in INTI’s BIM Development Centre.
