“Construction phase digital twin model” is the full title of the project with the acronym COGITO, which received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 958310.

COGITO – materialising the digitalisation benefits for the construction industry to unleash the untapped potential in productivity improvement and increased safety.

The EU-funded COGITO project introduces a real-time digital representation (twin) of a construction project, using methods to ensure interoperability among the different components and technologies constituting the digital twin ecosystem, following the lean construction principles.

COGITO aims to materialise the digitalisation benefits for the construction industry by harmonising Digital Twins with the Building Information Model concept and to establish a digital Construction 4.0 tool-box.
