Building Information Modelling (BIM) presents as an advancement in construction industry and has been linked with numerous benefits beyond merely time, cost, and quality aspects. In fact, it has the potential to improve human resource, technology, teamwork, and communication. However, a major hindrance for the successful implementation of BIM has been the never-ending disputes which affected the ability to fully enjoy its potential. Similar scenario has also been evident within the Malaysian public sector projects as a result, BIM uptake is still very low and generally still at an infancy stage. This paper presents part of a research towards developing a framework that uses Supply Chain Management (SCM) for effective dispute resolution in BIM implementation within the Malaysian public sector projects. The dispute issues surrounding BIM implementations are reviewed and discussed. Further debate and justifications were also made on the potential of SCM as the way forward. In-depth literature reviews were conducted, and the route of this research was also elaborated. In the end, it was evident that the implementation of SCM tools combined with pathogenic approach to establishing dispute causes, has the potential to effectively deal with disputes in BIM implementations in Malaysian public sector projects.
