If you want a functional digital twin, accurate as-builts are non-negotiable. It’s not just about 3D geometry, it’s about linking every asset to metadata like IDs, commissioning reports, and maintenance logs. With that level of detail, facility teams can run energy simulations, plan predictive maintenance, and even schedule inspections digitally. The twin basically becomes a living record of the building. And when renovations or upgrades come along, version control in the as-built model keeps everyone on the same page. In short, a good 3D as-built is the foundation for a digital twin that actually delivers value beyond construction.
