A digital twin is a digital replica of a physical asset. In construction and estate management the digital twin is used to virtually represent a building or estate. There are many different interpretations of ‘digital twin’ and it can mean different things to different sectors or even organisations, but will tend to be made up of data fed from multiple sources including the likes of – 3D models, drawings, building management solutions, scans, videos, IOT solutions, mobile solutions and even manual data inputs.
