Despite the inevitable recognition of BIM across the industry worldwide, the use of BIM technology in developing countries is lagging. While BIM is extensively implemented in the design stage of the construction project, the integration of BIM in project risk management is yet broadened. This study has taken the first step in identifying the extent of practices of 3D BIM application in risk management for building construction projects in Malaysia. This study has been conducted using various approaches (guidelines review, close-ended questionnaire, and semi-structured interview) that have enabled the triangulation of information. The findings demonstrated that the integration of 3D BIM in risk management provides multiple potential benefits such as enhancing coordination and communication, early risk identification, interoperability, and prediction of risks through visual risk analysis. Majority of respondents have revealed the lack of awareness and knowledge on the capability of BIM as a tool to manage risk with only a small percentage of construction organization practices 3D BIM in risk management process. A BIM-aided construction risk management would provide a guide for government agencies and construction practitioner in transforming disparate risk management process into a highly integrated system in construction projects.
