Implementing Building Information Modelling (BIM) into part of the design process is beneficial for civil and structural (C&S) engineering consultants involved in construction projects to ensure the project completion is within the stip-ulated time, cost, and quality of product delivery. However, there is still a lack of a systematic BIM process in Malaysia. Recent studies indicate that the BIM process has significantly influenced BIM implementation alongside other factors. This paper presents the initial stage of establishing a BIM implementation framework (BIMIF) for government building construction projects based on the conventional contract approach and focuses on developing the BIM process from a chosen case study. With the availability of BIMIF, the C&S consultants will have clear guidelines on the BIM process in government projects using conventional contracts to improve BIM implementation in Malaysia. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023.
