Abstract Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a
recent digital technology replacing traditional methods that
assist the revolution of the construction industry into a
digitised model full of information and an integrated
computerised framework. The lack of BIM tertiary
education and training in Malaysia leads to the need in
developing BIM syllabus and training module for the
establishment of BIM education knowledge and
capabilities. Therefore, the BIM Industry Centre of
Excellence (ICoE) for Kolej Kemahiran Tinggi Majlis
Amanah Rakyat (MARA) (KKTM) places an endeavour to
be established as the first BIM in Pasir Mas Kelantan. The
aim of this paper is to examine the critical success factors
(CSFs) of the development and implementation of the BIM
ICoE for KKTM. This review paper employed scoping
from the other researchers of BIM to the ICoE. The result
reveals that the industry must introduce the BIM as soon as
possible to encourage rapid improvement in the BIM
adoption. Besides that, this BIM ICoE will be beneficial to
industry players by enhancing more collaborations with
MARA, which is eventually supporting the MARA
Technical Vocational Education Training (TVET) strategic
planning.

1. Introduction
Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) is an organisation
under the Ministry of Rural Development (KPLB) that
drives the economy, especially Bumiputera. MARA
education centres, especially the Technical Vocational
Education Training (TVET) MARA, by driving education
towards providing high-quality technical education and
industrial readiness training systems directed to produce
skilled and knowledgeable personnel who are responsive to
local and global industries' demands (Hassan, 2019).
The industrial training system hence enhances the
MARA's identity as an organisation that achieves
revolution and technology to improve the education sector.
However, achieving MARA's desire to make education
superior requires MARA's cooperation with the industry
(Baharom et al., 2017). The Industrial Centre of Excellence
(ICoE) is therefore one of the goals of MARA education
under the Skills and Technical Division (BKT) to
transform MARA education sector to be an Industry-Based
Education and Training (IBET) centre.
The ICoE aims to enhance training in certain areas that
are jointly run by the higher education institutions and
significant companies. The ICoE carries out three activities:
human resource growth, research and development and
capacity building. Complex human resource planning and
projection needs of partner companies and the entire
