Malaysia Moves Forward with BIM: PK 1.15 Implementation Now Mandatory from July 2025

Introduction #

The Government of Malaysia has taken a significant step forward in digital transformation within the construction industry. The newly issued Pekeliling Perbendaharaan PK 1.15: Pelaksanaan Building Information Modelling (BIM), released by the Ministry of Finance Malaysia, sets a national mandate for BIM adoption.

Effective 1 July 2025, BIM will be mandatory for all Government development projects valued at RM10 million and above.

This policy also strongly encourages BIM adoption for the private sector, aligning Malaysia with global best practices in project delivery, asset management, and digital collaboration.

What is PK 1.15 All About? #

Unlike technical circulars such as MSMA or MSIG that affect design calculations, PK 1.15 is an administrative directive outlining BIM responsibilities, deliverables, governance, and required roles across project phases.

Key Objectives of PK 1.15: #

• Digitize the entire project lifecycle from planning to asset management.
• Enhance coordination to reduce design clashes and cost overruns.
• Improve project visualization and stakeholder understanding.
• Drive collaborative workflows across public agencies and contractors.
• Encourage standardized digital recordkeeping for assets.

The directive clearly outlines roles such as BIM Manager, BIM Coordinator, and Information Manager, and places responsibility on Controlling Officers (Pegawai Pengawal) to ensure BIM compliance in MyProjek submissions.

How MiLA Aligns with PK 1.15 #

At MiLA, our local engineering software platforms are designed to support this shift by providing:

✅ 3D design output suitable for coordination and BIM referencing
✅ Built-in Malaysia standards and design workflows for infrastructure and buildings
✅ Structured reports, drawings, and data that align with common BIM deliverables
✅ Export capabilities that complement BIM coordination tools (e.g. use in IFC, Revit via BIM consultants)
✅ Automation of engineering design and detailing to speed up early project phases

Whether you’re involved in RMKe-13 building or infrastructure projects, MiLA helps your team focus on engineering accuracy while providing the essential inputs needed for BIM consultants to complete project coordination and submissions.
