Building Information Modelling (BIM) Application as Risk Mitigation Strategies in Building Refurbishment Project Life Cycle

Towards the implementation of inclusive sustainable cities development as one of the Sustainable Development Goals, the imbalance ratio of existing buildings to new construction became overwhelming challenges. Therefore, refurbishment of existing buildings is considered the possible solution to minimizes the environmental impact and upgrading the performance of an existing building to meet new requirements. However, building refurbishment is well-known as a project that comprehends riskier compared to new building projects which lead to limited applicability in current risk management implementation. Thus, in line with an era of digitization construction of the fourth industrial revolution (IR 4.0), the traditional risk management needs improvement from a manual basis to magnifying efficiency using integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) application. BIM is defined as an advanced technology that assists construction players to produce, communicate, and analyse building models by providing visual tools and a set of data. Therefore, the objective of this research is to identify the potential building refurbishment risk categories and to determine the most critical project lifecycle phase in implementing the BIM applications in order to mitigate the potential building refurbishment project risk. Also, to discover the relationship strength between these two variables. The quantitative method is applied by using a questionnaire form to the certified BIM experts. This research contributes a solid understanding and useful guideline for future practice reference and improvement within the Building Refurbishment Project.
