Abstract: Building Information Modelling (BIM) aims to support the whole-of-life project life cycle. BIM has been practiced broadly at the design and construction stages in the Malaysian construction industry. However, it has not yet been extensively implemented in the Facility Management (FM) industry. The adoption of BIM-FM integration is complex, and the information on the adoption of BIM in the FM process is still scarce. Hence, to improve early integration of FM in BIM project, it is necessary to understand the adoption factors from various level of FM management. Thus, this research aimed to address this gap by examining the factors influencing the Facility Management Organization (FMO) in adopting the BIM-FM integration into the early phase of the BIM project. A qualitative method was adopted, and a semi-structured interview was utilised as the primary method to execute the research objective. The data were thematically analysed. The results revealed various issues influencing the BIM-FM adoption at the early phase of the BIM project. It has been concluded that there are twenty-three (23) relevant factors that contribute to the adoption BIM-FM integration. The findings of this study expected to offer better understanding to the significant factors and provide a strategy in activation the integration of BIM-FM the early BIM project in Malaysia. However, this study not considered the essential factors that contribute to the adoption process.
