Digital twins are transforming the AEC industry by creating dynamic, data-rich replicas of assets across design, construction, and operations. Integrated with BIM, GIS, IoT, AI, and ML, they enable real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and “what-if” simulations, boosting efficiency, sustainability, and collaboration. Benefits include reduced costs, improved safety, and extended asset lifecycles, while challenges span data security, skills gaps, and IT infrastructure. Adoption is accelerating toward autonomous twins with advanced analytics and lifecycle integration, positioning digital twins as a foundation for resilient, sustainable, and innovative infrastructure.
