Digital Twin Services for Buildings
Connect BIM and asset information to operational uses. Define your digital twin pilot, data mapping, integrations and handover.
We help connect BIM and asset information with defined facilities workflows. A digital twin scope may include model preparation, asset identifiers, document links, operational data connections and user training. We start with the operating need and a representative pilot, then define the information and responsibilities required for a sustainable handover.
Requirements Workshop
We work with facility managers, operations teams, and owners to define the use cases, KPIs, and data sources that will drive the digital twin, before any configuration begins.
Asset Data Mapping
BIM model elements are mapped to the asset register, enriching objects with manufacturer data, warranty dates, maintenance schedules, and O&M documentation links.
Platform Configuration
Autodesk Tandem or the selected platform is configured with the asset model, user roles, and data streams, including API connections to BMS, IoT sensors, and CMMS systems.
Sensor Integration & Testing
IoT sensors, energy meters, and facility systems are integrated and tested, with data validation ensuring readings are accurate and properly attributed to model spaces.
Dashboard & Handoff
We build role-specific dashboards in Power BI or the platform native viewer, deliver end-user training, and provide post-handoff support for data quality and system adoption.
Start your digital twin with an operational use
Define the facilities question first: finding assets and documents, reviewing system information or monitoring selected operational data. We scope the model, information and connections around that use.
- Operating use cases and the people who will use the system.
- Available BIM models, asset registers and equipment identifiers.
- Required documents, source systems and integration permissions.
- Pilot area, acceptance tasks and ownership after handover.
How we define cost, timing, and deliverables
The scope separates model preparation, data mapping, connections and ongoing support. Integration availability, data quality and update requirements affect effort. We agree a representative pilot and who maintains records, permissions and connections after delivery.

How does a digital twin differ from a BIM handover?
BIM handover supplies agreed asset information and models. A digital twin connects a representation with information about the physical asset for defined operational tasks, with update and maintenance workflows. The required connections depend on the use.
Do we need sensors for every asset?
No. Define the operating question first. Some uses rely on asset records and documents; monitoring uses may need operational streams. Each connection is scoped and checked.
Can we use an existing model?
Possibly. We assess identifiers, required properties, geometry and source records. Model and data preparation are defined separately from integrations.
Who maintains the twin after handover?
The proposal assigns ownership of asset updates, permissions and integration maintenance. We agree the training and support required so the receiving team can sustain the intended workflow.
