About us
We create Digital twins of the site as-built by gathering and combining accurate real-time information about the project using technologies such as 3D laser scanners, drones, sensors, cameras, and other IoT-related devices.
Stakeholders utilise the digital twin to track site progress, for validation and substantiation of executed works, for quality control, and to monitor time, cost, and risk.
Scanned site data – 3D BIM
Scanned site data is centralised into a 3D BIM model. The as-built 3D model is compared to the designed model to highlight variances, discrepancies, deviations, and design clashes.
Our Clients include:
Installers and fabricators can benefit a lot from digital twins for construction and renovation projects, such as:
- Improved Communication: Digital twins provide a collaborative platform that allows fabricators, installers, and other project stakeholders to communicate and share information. This ensures everyone is on the same page and helps to streamline the installation process, reducing costly errors.
- Real-time access to project information: With a digital twin, installers and fabricators can access project information, such as 3D models, installation guides, and material specifications in real-time. This enables them to make informed decisions and recommendations regarding installation processes, materials, and design changes promptly.
- Early Detection of Issues: Digital twins enable installers and fabricators to visualize the completed product virtually before start of installation, and help identify potential problems, interferences or other issues. This ensures that any issues are resolved during the design phase and that the installation process goes smoothly and seamlessly.
- Streamlined Installation Processes: By using digital twins, installers and fabricators can create accurate measurements before installation, produce detailed cut lists, and create optimized installation sequences, thereby reducing waste, errors and oversights in the process.
- Reduced Rework: Digital twins minimize the need for rework by ensuring installers and fabricators can visualize the end product and check for any potential interferences or other issues before installation begins. This results in decreased material and labor costs, which can significantly impact the bottom line.
Digital twin technology offer several benefits for contractors, including:
- Contractors can use digital twin-virtual models of buildings or infrastructure projects, test out different design options and identify potential issues before construction begins.
- Enhanced collaboration and communication: Digital twins can be accessed and shared by various stakeholders, including sub- contractors, improving communication and collaboration throughout the construction process.
- Cost savings: Using digital twin technology can help contractors minimize errors and rework, leading to cost savings over the course of the project.
- Improved safety: By simulating construction scenarios in a virtual environment, digital twins can help contractors identify potential safety hazards and develop strategies to mitigate them.
Digital twins offer an innovative way for project managers to manage entire project life cycle from concept design to facilities management. It can be used to simulate each phase of the project, visualize end products, and streamline decision-making with real-time critical data. This can ultimately reduce costs, boost efficiency, and optimize project performance.

Digital twins can help procurement managers save money by providing them with increased transparency and insights into the procurement process. Here are some ways that a digital twin can assist procurement managers in saving costs:
- Optimizing supplier selection
- Reducing material waste
- Streamlining logistics
- Improving project efficiency
Overall, digital twins can help procurement managers make data-driven decisions, improving cost-effectiveness and reducing waste in the procurement process.
Digital twins can help in planning and scheduling of projects by providing the ability to simulate and visualize the entire project before construction begins.
Here are some examples of how digital twins can assist in project planning and scheduling:
- Accurate Estimation of Project Timelines: By creating a virtual replica of the project, planners can validate the timeline of the process. They will be able to simulate every step of the construction process with realistic parameters. The digital twin serves as a simulation ground for problem-solving and optimization, resulting in efficient mitigation of issues that could have negatively affected the project.
- Cost Reduction: By leveraging digital twin technology for project planning, planners can reduce costs related to project schedule overruns, variations, and re-work. They can simulate several scenarios, modify variables, review their impact on the overall project cost, and make informed decisions that impact positively on the budget.
- Improved Communication: Digital twins provide a sophisticated and effective communication medium that allows everyone involved in the project to visualize the project at different levels. These virtual simulations can be shared with stakeholders who can offer critical inputs and make informed decisions that translate to achieving the goals of the project effectively.
Digital twins can save time and money for quantity surveyors on construction sites by providing advanced tools for data collection, analysis, and visualization. Here are some ways that digital twins can help quantity surveyors
- Accurate and up-to-date data
- Early identification of issues
- Improving collaboration
- Streamlining workflows
Digital twins can help quality control teams for projects under construction in several ways, including:
- Improved Collaboration and Communication: Digital twins provide a virtual meeting point for project stakeholders, including quality control teams, to collaborate and communicate throughout the entire project lifecycle. By using the digital twin to view the project in real-time, quality control teams can identify potential issues or defects and provide feedback to the construction team promptly.
- Early Detection of Defects: Digital twins contain all project information, including structural design details and materials to be used in construction, which helps quality control teams to identify potential defects in advance. By simulating all phases of the project, the digital twin provides quality teams the opportunity to identify quality problems early and recomend changes, including improved materials or work methods for better outcomes.
- Data-Driven Analysis: Digital twins generate large amounts of data on project performance and quality parameters, which can be analyzed in real-time. By leveraging digital twins, quality control teams can analyze performance data such as structure strength, adherence to regulations, load capacity, and fatigue resistance to identify areas of improvement and possible defects expeditiously.
- Improved Verification of Quality Standards: Quality control teams can use digital twin simulations to verify compliance with industry and company standards. The digital twin can simulate the actual structures and pinpoints potential infractions during construction or testing phases.
- Streamlined Quality Assurance Testing: Since digital twins exist in a virtual space, it is possible to use them for quality assurance testing before the final product is ready. Quality control teams can create a virtual environment that simulates the testing environment and run tests to identify any potential issues before the product’s completion.
