is the most financially viable way
to obtain a digital twin model of
the construction facility and the
equipment built into it.
What precisely all this means, I
will explain in answer to the next
question.
What Additional
Value Does The
Digital Twin Model
Give Me?
If we are talking about a BIM
project, the simplest explanation
for the difference between a BIM
as built model and a digital twin
model is that the BIM as built
model provides static information
about a built object, such as its
geometry, equipment capacity,
properties of used materials and
equipment, etc.
The digital twin of a building and
its built-in equipment enables the
cost anticipation of each element
during its life cycle. These costs
can be predicted on a monthly,
quarterly, yearly, or multi-year
basis, which can provide valuable
information to the investor or
user of the facility to optimize
and more effectively manage its
own finance.
How To Manage The
Project Process So
That The Investor
Will Eventually Get A
Cheap But Quality
Digital Twin Model?
Assuming we are talking about a
BIM project, the most straightforward
answer to the asked question
is that the investor, during
the preparation of all project
phases, has in his team an
experienced BIM manager
(employed by the investor or
hired as a BIM consultant), who
will manage the BIM requirements
in the interest of the
investor during all stages of the
BIM workflow. The starting

form part of the contract
between the designer and the
In contrast, the digital twin model
contains dynamic data such as
maintenance costs and the life
cycle of all elements of a building
and equipment installed, as well
as elements that simulate various
“real-world” impacts on them.
