Drone technology in construction is changing how architects, engineers, contractors and project managers monitor sites. From aerial progress photos and land surveys to safety inspections, quantity measurements and 3D mapping, drones can capture site information faster and from perspectives that are difficult to achieve from the ground
BIM and digital twins are closely connected, but not the same thing. BIM creates and manages structured information about a built asset, while a digital twin connects a digital representation with information from the physical asset and its changing condition. This guide explains the difference between BIM and digital twins, how they work together, where they fit into construction, and what AEC teams should understand before adopting these technologies.
