Abstract

Construction is one of the most knowledge intensive industries in which information needs to be readily accessible, reliable, timely and in a format which the receiver can understand. Information needs to be shared efficiently during the entire lifecycle from deign planning to operation and maintenance phase. As Industrial Revolution 4.0 continues to develop, it is important that construction adopts new advanced technologies. Digital twin is the key element of IR 4.0 roadmap as a digitalization technology that allows the physical and virtual world to communicate. Besides that, Building Information Modelling and Radio Frequency Identification also are the modern technologies used in Malaysian Construction Industry. Although Digital Twin is rapidly being adopted in different sectors, the technology has the potential to regulate the construction data. This paper presents a conceptual illustration of Digital Twin in construction. The use of a digital twin for performance is critical in terms of cost savings and reliability improvements. In this paper, the research aims to study the expansion of the digital twin in including building life cycle management and explore the benefits and shortcomings of such implementation. The research method used to achieve the objective is through the questionnaire method. The target population for this research is focus on the local contractors with different grades of firm size such as Grade 6 and 7 among Malaysia. In the data analysis of this study, the descriptive analysis and inferential statistics method in SPSS software adopted to achieve the objective of this research.
