Construction Digital Maturity Index (CDMI)

The Construction Digital Maturity Index (CDMI) introduced by the Board is a special program developed in collaboration with the Master Builders Association Malaysia (MBAM) with the purpose of measuring the level of application/use of emerging technologies adopted by local contractors in Malaysia. This is aimed at enhancing the image of the construction industry in line with the Construction Strategic Plan 4.0 (2021 –2025), to help the construction industry face the rapid changes brought by the technological revolution in construction.

The implementation of the Construction Strategic Plan 4.0 will be driven by four pillars or enablers consisting of:
Thrust 1 – People
Thrust 2 – Integrated technologies
Thrust 3 – Governance
Thrust 4– Economy

Main Objectives of the Construction Digital Maturity Index (CDMI) Assessment by CIDB :
1. To determine the level of digital maturity of construction-related businesses.
2. To identify issues and challenges in digitizing the daily operations of construction-related businesses.
3. To understand the priorities of digitalization within the business.
4. To provide digital tools and solutions that are appropriate to your level of digital maturity

The Construction Digital Maturity Index (CDMI) Stage Model is a framework for measuring the level of digital maturity of an organization in the construction industry. This model consists of six levels (L0 to L5), representing stages of digital maturity:
L0 – Ignorance
The organization is unaware of digitalization; operations remain as usual (Business As Usual)

L1 – Awareness
The organization begins basic digital implementation. There is some use of digital technologies in certain processes, but it remains limited and not comprehensive.

L2 – Commitment
The organization is committed to initiating digitalization, with several key individuals acting as champions and basic capability development being established.

L3 – Compliance
Digitalization is implemented to meet reporting standards and relevant requirements. The organization’s capabilities begin to grow with support from external parties.

L4 – Efficient
Digitalization becomes part of the core processes, enhancing operations and organizational resilience. Products and services are redesigned for digital readiness.

L5 – Advantage
Digitalization is fully integrated into the business strategy, providing a competitive advantage. All products and services are ready for digital collaboration.
