Executive Summary
Digital twins are surfacing as a transformative tool in the construction industry. While overall market maturity remains in its infancy, construction twins are delivering tangible value through optimized analytics, streamlined data handovers and enhanced stakeholder collaboration. With general contractors and owners beginning to view construction twins as an operational imperative, the stage is set for rapid growth. Architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals should use this report to gain practical insights into the business case for digital twin adoption – either as part of their own project delivery or by their clients. In the report, we examine current use cases, assess market maturity and explore growth opportunities by analysing real-world deployments across construction projects of varying scale and complexity.About the Authors
