The construction industry has evolved from a period of hand-drafted drawings to Building Information Modeling (BIM). However, in current practice, disjointed single-purpose tools created to improve communication do not fully solve information management challenges leading to suboptimal building performance in the industry. Therefore, industries are embracing a new generation of interconnected, multi-functional technologies like Digital Twin to digitally transform themselves and move beyond the margin of 3D visualization capabilities of BIM to actual production, operation, and management of building facilities. Now we can see that the leading construction industries are giving priority to implementing Digital Twin in their companies. Almost half of the major industrial companies were predicted to use Digital Twin technology by 2021, achieving a 10% enhancement in their efficiency. In 2018, the market for global Digital Twin was valued to be USD $3.2 billion and is predicted to reach USD $29.1 billion by 2025. One of the prominent global research and advisory firms Gartner listed Digital Twin in the top ten list of emerging technology trends in 2019. Also, the Digital Twin market is predicted to grow around ten times in 2025 reaching USD $27.06 billion then back in 2017 of USD $2.26 billion by Grand View Research Forecasts. These predictions indicate that there will be milestone progress in the adoption and implementation of Digital Twins in the construction industry. Despite its high potential, the majority of people in the construction industry are still confused about the concept of Digital Twin technology. They are not sure what Digital Twin technology is, how it is implemented, what Digital Twin tools need to be used, and what challenges and benefits they have by having a Digital Twin system. Hence to have an in-depth idea of the Digital Twin adoption and implementation in the construction industry, this research is conducted with the aim to answer the above questions. The research is conducted with a comprehensive literature review supported by an exploratory survey and follow-up interviews. Based on the research results, we can conclude that there is still confusion about the concept of Digital Twin in the construction Industry. The construction industry has started its journey towards digitalization but still, there are lots of things that need to be done. For example, having standard and concise data or making more collaborative environments with common data platforms can help us to implement the Digital Twin in the construction industry. Also, it requires the organizational readiness to accept changes and advancements in the industry. Overall, this research shows that the construction industry is now ready for some changes, and that change can be Digital Twin.

Modelled on the concept of Industry 4.0, the idea of Construction 4.0 is based on a confluence of trends and technologies that promise to reshape the way built environment assets are designed, constructed, and operated. With the pervasive use of Building Information Modelling (BIM), lean principles, digital technologies, and offsite construction, the industry is at the cusp of this transformation. The critical challenge is the fragmented state of teaching, research, and professional practice in the built environment sector. This handbook aims to overcome this fragmentation by describing Construction 4.0 in the context of its current state, emerging trends and technologies, and the people and process issues that surround the coming transformation. Construction 4.0 is a framework that is a confluence and convergence of the following broad themes discussed in this book: Industrial production (prefabrication, 3D printing and assembly, offsite manufacture) Cyber-physical systems (actuators, sensors, IoT, robots, cobots, drones) Digital and computing technologies (BIM, video and laser scanning, AI and cloud computing, big data and data analytics, reality capture, Blockchain, simulation, augmented reality, data standards and interoperability, and vertical and horizontal integration) The aim of this handbook is to describe the Construction 4.0 framework and consequently highlight the resultant processes and practices that allow us to plan, design, deliver, and operate built environment assets more effectively and efficiently by focusing on the physical-to-digital transformation and then digital-to-physical transformation. This book is essential reading for all built environment and AEC stakeholders who need to get to grips with the technological transformations currently shaping their industry, research, and teaching.

The use of digital tools across the construction industry has become increasingly popular in recent years, with the rise of technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT), drones, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), among others. With increasingly complex construction projects have come unique constructability challenges where the use of digital technologies has aided in the design and construction process. The use of BIM across the industry has laid the foundational work to implement Construction Digital Twins, CDTs, a living digital model which updates in near real-time to accurately reflect the construction process. A major challenge of the implementation of Construction Digital Twins lies in the identification of specific use cases for CDT adoption along with standard implementation approaches. The goal of this research is to use a content analysis of existing literature to identify core elements of a definition and scope of the term "Construction Digital Twin," and create a taxonomy of Construction Digital Twin Use Cases on construction projects. This research aims to alleviate misconceptions of the term's usage with a common definition of the term and to create a taxonomy for implementation that provides a common definition and organization of CDT use cases. With a formal definition and a taxonomy for use, the goal is to enable more widespread usage of CDTs to aid in the growing complexity of construction projects. The analysis identified six attributes for Construction Digital Twins, which include the following; virtual representation, physical counterpart, the automated connection from the digital world to the physical world, the automated connection from the digital world to the physical world, simulation, and prediction of future behavior. After reviewing use cases, sixty-five use cases were defined leveraging a common representational structure of "CDT Use to Desired Result using a DT Method." After the use cases were documented, they were organized into a taxonomy, which focused on the five major classes of Gather, Generate, Analyze, Communicate, and Realize. Upon documentation of the taxonomy, several areas for future research were identified, including a more comprehensive list of use cases, identification of more specific methods for application and a structured approach for applying multiple use cases at once.

This book is neither a step-by-step guide nor a technical handbook. Instead, different insights for Engineers (especially Chief/Lead/Head/Principal) on the adoption of Digital Twins for physical counterparts in various sectors/industries such as Manufacturing, Building, Infrastructure, Oil & Gas, Healthcare, Energy, Telecommunication, and Transportation up to City levels. With the power of digital data upon various advanced technologies aligned with Industry 4.0 and surely better than traditional approaches, the Digital Twin is the way forward to smartly enhance performances, especially towards Sustainability. Because data is, to every Engineer, the key to making better-informed decisions about physical counterparts. Furthermore, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Metaverse technologies are advancing to create more opportunities and excitement for Digital Twins. However, organizational commitment is a lot more important than focusing on specific advanced technologies in order to optimize the Return On Investment (ROI) and data security level of the Digital Twin adoption. With simple explanations and case studies, perhaps this book is actionable for Engineers to start adopting in their organization by starting small and later achieving better performances than before. Smart Plant, Smart Building, Smart Infrastructure, Smart City, and more from the Digital Twin adoption, in the long run, are absolutely the sustainable motivation behind it, economically, socially, and environmentally valuable.
