Datuk Ir Ahmad Redza bin Ghulam Rasool, graciously officiated the opening ceremony, marking the beginning of a successful gathering.
Throughout the event, attendees engaged in a series of insightful presentations and discussions. The Knowledge Arena and Project Showcase featured 17 expert speakers, with Ronan Collins from HSS Engineers delivering the keynote address. Additionally, 24 companies showcased the latest advancements in BIM and 4IR (Fourth Industrial Revolution) technologies. Two books, “Building Better with BIM,” a collaboration between JKR and USM, and “JKR BIM Report RMK11,” produced by the CPAB BIM Unit, were also launched, adding further value to the program. The event culminated in the presentation of the JKR BIM Awards, recognizing the achievements of industry leaders, JKR officials, and students.
