Abstract
Systems and methods for creating a digital twin of a structure, including facilitating communications during construction and during the structure's lifetime. Building documents such as construction plans along with vendor and contractor specifications and information may be ingested and used to automatically create a digital model of the structure. The digital model may be used to facilitate communication between various parties responsible for construction and subsequent maintenance of the structure. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a server, one or more files containing specifications for construction of a structure;
- extracting, by the server from the specifications, information about a design of the structure;
- generating, by the server from the extracted information, a virtual model of the structure;
- receiving, at the server, an inventory list;
- extracting, by the server, metadata from the inventory list;
- and
- tagging the virtual model of the structure with the metadata.
A non-transitory computer readable medium (CRM) comprising instructions that, when executed by an apparatus, cause the apparatus to:
- receive one or more files containing specifications for construction of a structure;
- extract, from the specifications, information about a design of the structure;
- generate, from the extracted information, a digital model of the structure;
- receive an inventory list;
- extract metadata from the inventory list;
- and
- tag the digital model of the structure with the metadata.
