AEC Digital Twin Playbook
The AEC Digital Twin Playbook
A comprehensive guide for firms seeking to develop and deploy innovative service offerings that strengthen client relationships and modernize operations.
Help your clients modernize operations—and discover untapped revenue.
AEC firms are traditionally project-based service providers, but with digital twins, they can become long-term partners. By extending their expertise into the operational phase, leveraging as-built data and operational information, AEC firms can help reduce energy costs, enhance preventive maintenance, optimize space utilization, and ensure regulatory compliance. Digital twins provide an opportunity to develop recurring revenue that smooths out the cyclical nature of construction spending and cultivate enduring client relationships that extend years after project hand-off.
“The operations phase accounts for 60 to 80 percent of total facility lifecycle costs. This means that, over the lifetime of almost any facility, operators will spend more on operational costs like maintenance and utilities than they ever did on design and construction”
