Abstract

A potential method for digitalization in the building business, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is
used extensively in contemporary construction projects to digitally depict facilities. However, as far as depicting
building processes is concerned, it does have some limits. Similar to how the digital twin idea transformed product
lifecycle management in manufacturing, it has the ability to overcome these limits and launch advanced digital
transformation in the construction sector. The use of digital twins in the building sector is examined in this study. In
all, 140 publications were culled from relevant journals and databases. The building information modeling (BIM) and
simulation components make up the digital part of twinning. Digital models of real-world construction sites and
structures have been generated using these two methods. Still, there hasn't been enough research into the digital twin
concept's implications for combining and using BIM with simulation modeling. By conducting thorough analyses of
building information modeling (BIM), simulation modeling (SIM), and digital twins, we can lay the groundwork for
this study and determine the future of digital twins in the construction industry, taking our management of projects to
the next level of digitalization.
