The UK BIM Alliance issue a BIM and digital twins positioning statement

The UK BIM Alliance has prepared this ‘position statement’ on digital twins to clarify the relationship between BIM and digital twins, to complement discussions in various work groups within the National Digital Twin (NDT) programme by the Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB)

With discussions taking place around the world on this important topic, the UK BIM Alliance thought it best to formally publish a positioning statement as a ‘go to’ resource for anyone partaking in the various discussions.

Three key questions answered:

What is BIM?
What is a digital twin?
Where does one stop and the other begin?
