IMPLEMENTATION OF HERITAGE BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING (HBIM) FOR CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE MANAGEMENT

Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) is a process applied to existing buildings which enable the creation of a model that can simulate the actual construction of the existing building by starting up with a digital survey using laser scanner or camera for photogrammetry. The implementation of HBIM in Malaysia construction industry is relatively low. However, the studies in Malaysia regarding HBIM implementation rarely focus on the technical information in implementing HBIM. Therefore, this research is aimed to develop a guideline of implementing HBIM in Malaysia heritage building by identifying the methods of data capturing and modelling. The research method adopted was quantitative approach via questionnaire survey. The research found that terrestrial laser scanner, photogrammetry and combination of image-based and range-based method are the data capturing’s method while the processing of survey data will be data cleaning, data registration, surface meshing, texturing, and creation of orthographic image. The contribution of this research is that it can serve as a reference for the heritage architect in managing the heritage building by adopting HBIM.
