Implementation of Digital Twinning in the Malaysian Construction Industry

This study investigates the relationship between the implementation of digital twinning and construction project management performance, using Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT) as a framework. It finds that the implementation of digital twinning significantly enhances project management performance in the construction sector. While the study acknowledges various challenges associated with the implementation of digital twinning, these challenges do not notably affect the positive relationship established. Besides, it provides comprehensive guidance to the construction industry, delineating both positive and negative aspects of digital twinning implementation, including benefits and potential challenges. Additionally, the study addresses existing research gaps, fostering a more accurate understanding of stakeholders and increasing awareness within the construction industry, particularly in developing countries.
