Before building any physical structure, it is important to know how much you need to spend on materials and expertise. Owing to the pandemic as well as the rising material costs, it is even more crucial to control costs to ensure that prices are still within the reach of the customer. Building Cost Information Services Malaysia Sdn Bhd (BCISM) can help with this endeavour. Formed in July 2019, BCISM is a collaboration between the Malaysian Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) and the Royal Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (RISM).
