Digital twin model for Facility & Space management

Our team developed a precise architectural digital twin for residential building in the Netherlands, focusing on NEN 2580 compliance to optimize long term facility and space management.

Digital twin model for Facility & Space management

The Challenge

  • Creating a highly accurate digital replica that mirrors the exact physical conditions of an existing residential structure.
  • Adhering to strict NEN 2580 measurement standards required for Dutch building regulation and space reporting.
  • Transforming fragmented architectural data and legacy documentation into a data rich 3D environment.
  • Ensuring the model was functional for operational facility management rather than just static design visualization.
  • Achieving a high LOD to capture intricate structural detail necessary for maintenance.
  • Bridging technical gaps between architectural modeling and clients existing asset management software.

The Solution

  • Constructed a comprehensive Architectural BIM model to serve as a living digital twin of the facility.
  • Integrated NEN 2580 measurement protocols into the modeling workflow for automated and accurate area calculations.
  • Developed a centralized digital repository containing all essential building information, components and specifications.
  • Performed data validation against survey record to ensure 100% digital to physical accuracy.
  • Optimized the BIM model to support seamless data exchange with facility management.
  • Defined a structured information hierarchy to allow for easy updates and scalability throughout the building’s lifecycle.

The Result

  • Reliable digital twin to streamline maintenance scheduling and daily facility operations.
  • Achieved full compliance with Dutch regulatory standards for transparent and precise space management.
  • Reduced operational overhead by providing the management team with instant access to accurate building data.
  • Enhanced strategic decision making through clear visualized of floor areas and asset distributions.
  • Improved accuracy in leasing and space allocation thanks to precise NEN 2580 certified measurements.
  • Established future proof digital assets that reduce information loss during property handovers and renovations.
