If technology, industrialization and sustainability are the significant changes that we will have to witness in the coming years in construction, durability, efficiency, adaptability and cost and waste reduction are the main premises for the future of the building. Even a more inattentive look can see that the construction sector generally has a very high
Digital twins occupy a central place in the process of managing the life cycle of a space or building just like BIM – which we’ve addressed in a previous article. Although distinct, they are intimately related concepts. What’s a Digital Twin? A Digital Twin is a virtual model of a physical entity, built using digital, computational, and informational tools and technologies. The Digital Twin replicates its physical counterpart and
Building Information Modelling (BIM) emerges as a solution for modernizing and restructuring the construction sector, stimulating the collaboration amongst project stakeholders, promoting digitization as a response to the need for optimizing communication and obtaining more efficient processes. Although often seen as a technology, BIM is also (and foremost) a new work methodology. On one hand,
