Construction phase digital twin model (COGITO) is a project that started in November 2020 with funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

The COGITO project aims to establish a Digital Construction 4.0 toolbox that integrates: reality capture technology to collect data capturing the actualstate of operations from construction sites; Building Information Models (BIMs) initially containing design and planning information and subsequently augmented with as-built data; and innovative integrated data management and software solutions to optimise site operations.

The COGITO Digital Construction 4.0 Toolbox will effectively deliver a “DigitalTwin” of construction operations and employ it for improving performance interms of safety, quality, schedule and cost. The reality capture tools will includedigital cameras, laser scanning, and resource tracking sensors.

Moreover, the project has launched a Stakeholders Requirements Survey aiming at capturing inputs from Project Managers, Site/Construction Managers (general foremen), foremen, Quality Managers and Surveyors, and HSE personnel.
