It was hypothesized that the low application of GRS in the Malaysian construction scene is due to the lack of awareness, exposure and experience in its’ benefits. Although many research abroad have indicated that green roofs contribute towards enhancing the environmental and aesthetical quality of the built environment, it is yet to be widely practised by local construction practitioners. The application of green roof system (GRS) in Malaysia as a sustainability tool to mitigate the Urban Heat Island effect is relatively new. New job roles such as the BIM Engineer and BIM Coordinator had been seen in the industry and evidence that the Architectural Technologist (AT) role is evolving into a more multidisciplinary role this reflects similar findings of recent research. BIM was being used with some success but improvements could be made. Using semi-structured interviews the interviewees indicated while several of the key enablers of IPD were being used, IPD itself had not been fully adopted. This research examined the current use of BIM, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and collaborative working in the UK AEC industry and job roles that have evolved or been created to cater for them. To manage this collaboration, new or evolved job roles may emerge. The increased collaborative nature of BIM, external data sharing techniques and progressively complex building design, promotes requirements for design teams to coordinate and communicate more effectively to achieve project goals. The uptake of BIM within the UK Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry has been slow since the 1980’s, but over recent years, adoptions have increased. Building Information Modelling is not only a tool, but also the process of creation, maintenance, distribution and co-ordination of an integrated database that collaboratively stores 2D and 3D information, with embedded physical and functional data within a project-building model.
