# Construction Digital Twin

> Time, cost and site safety under control. Site data made simple and communicable to all stakeholders.

A Construction Digital Twin is the digital replica of the site, kept up to date while work progresses. It enables real-time monitoring, analysis and visualization of project progress, so stakeholders make informed decisions and optimize resources.

It integrates data from different sources, such as sensors, IoT devices and laser scanner surveys, and improves time and cost control. It supports communication and coordination among project teams, with better results on site and lower costs.

We have applied it to the historic Villa Serena in Rome, to Hera's WTE trigeneration plant in Trieste and to Maximall Pompeii.

## Data & Analytics Management

Automated data extraction and visualization during construction. We provide reliable outputs through a controlled process, with interactive navigation of the information that supports strategic site decisions.

Services: Data Visualization, Data Analysis

## Digital Construction

Digitization in construction has many facets: digital tools, process automation and digital project communication. With time simulations we improve the construction process and optimize site time and costs.

Services: BIM Management, Project BIM Management, BIM Modeling, Scan to BIM, BIM Validation, CDE Management, Construction AI, Site Monitoring, Simulation

## BIM Automation

We see BIM automation as the key to working efficiently in the AEC industry. We work with our clients to optimize processes and raise project quality: scripting and automation tools deliver reliable outputs through a controlled process, with maximum accuracy and fewer errors.

Services: Informative Automation, Modeling Automation

## FAQ

**What is a construction digital twin?**

It is a digital model of the site connected to real work data: progress, surveys, sensors, schedule and costs. It shows the actual state of the works, compares it with the design and simulates the next phases. It differs from an operational digital twin, which covers the building once in use.

**What are 4D and 5D simulations?**

4D simulation links BIM model elements to the construction schedule and shows the build sequence. 5D adds quantities and costs. BIMON has used them on projects including the new Mexico City Airport, the Naples-Bari high-speed line and the Skurusund bridge in Sweden.

**Is a construction digital twin useful for a general contractor?**

Yes, contractors are often the ones asking for it. On Maximall Pompeii BIMON supported the general contractor with LOD 350 MEP models, clash detection and quantity extraction used to tender the MEP works in lots. The model also helps check bills of quantities and plan procurement.

**What data do we need to get started?**

Usually the detailed design, in BIM or DWG format, and the construction schedule. If work has already started, a laser scan survey captures the current state. Sensor and IoT data are added when the site provides them.
