The encouragement of the use of IBS and BIM in the construction industry by the government is said to have a lot of positive impact on the country. Through the integration of the five fundamental values of Construction 4.0, along with initiatives for well-being, productivity, sustainability, integrity, as well as safety and health, as well as safety and health, the Construction 4.0 Strategic Plan (2021–2025) was launched. The importance of BIM utilisation in the construction industry is also made clear. This study explores the possible application of IBS and BIM as methods to reduce construction waste in the building sector. This research is hoped to assist the reduction of construction waste, which will not only benefit contractors, construction firms and others but will also lessen unlawful dumping and improve the environment. A survey consisting of thorough questionnaire was developed to obtain information from construction professionals from the area around Penang. Research objectives were determined through a literature review and questionnaire survey The data was anlaysed using SPSS software to determine the required values. The findings demonstrated that every contracting company was aware of the level of acceptability of BIM-IBS activities, which include planning, using high-quality technology, controlling behaviour, and having personal competency. More than half of the companies are prepared to adopt BIM-IBS techniques in the future to lessen construction waste. The results of this study suggest that using BIM-IBS can aid in reducing waste generation. Thus it can be concluded that BIM-IBS is efficient and can be utilised to cut waste during construction projects.
