BIM
“ Taking ‘ baby steps ’ with digital twins and gradually scaling up is also a valid approach that can provide very positive outcomes without huge investment ”

“ Field BIM tools also capture the inspection history of a project , including the date of inspection , the person who signed it off and the person who reviewed it . Workflows can be built into the toolset to boost visibility at every stage of the project ,” he said .
The streamlining of the various stages of a project , including the construction , inspections and handover phases , is not only useful but essential , especially for contractors who want standardisation in order to make their work simpler .
“ It ' s almost important as paper is being used less and less , and there is a growing reliance on digital communication , particularly during the pandemic . Field BIM allows construction professionals to learn new skills and prepares them for a world that could one day be totally virtual .”

3D Repo shares the knowledge A new guide to digital twins in construction and infrastructure shows the industry how to make the most of the technology while avoiding the pitfalls that originally beset BIM implementation .
Published by 3D Repo , specialists in cloud-based BIM and digital twins , the guide looks at the current status of digital twins , how the concept fits into today ’ s construction industry , how to debunk the myths surrounding them and how to use readily available tools to create digital twins via a much simpler process . This work builds upon the recent Digital Twin Toolkit by the Centre for Digital Built Britain ( CDBB ), which 3D Repo contributed to .
