The healthcare industry in Malaysia is expected to grow to 127 billion ringgit by 2027. This vast investment definitely involved massive construction activities, which subsequently, require an advanced support system, to ensure the deliverable. Integration of CBA and BIM will further enhance the government construction project delivery. The level of BIM adoption in Malaysia's Construction industry is still low due to several obstacles; lack of knowledge of BIM, lack of data on the return on investment of BIM, and implementation cost and benefits. The objective of this paper was to identify the current approach of CBA toward BIM application in Government Healthcare Facilities in Malaysia. A mixed method with a nonprobability sampling technique was adopted. Where, 53 out of 90 respondents of the BIM expert population registered with the Public Works Department (PWD) BIM Centre have replied to the questionnaire. Meanwhile, five (5) semi-structured interview sessions were conducted. The findings have discovered that, awareness of the BIM application in the construction industry is important in this digital era. Nevertheless, the integration of CBA in BIM in Malaysia can be considered still low, compared to other countries such as Singapore and Australia. The integration of CBA in BIM adoption falls under level 3 of BIM Maturity.
