Digital twins for affordable housing
Research Group
The Digital Twin & Land Tenure Engineering Lab transforms 3D building information modelling to enhance urban planning and land development approvals .
Traditional methods of creating digital twins from 3D images are manual , time-consuming , and costly . Australia ’ s dependence on offshore drafting services also involves sovereign risks and limits scalability . The lab introduces automated digital twin creation and BIM methods , streamlining building modelling , and supporting land development approvals . By eliminating manual processes , the lab enables faster , more accurate city representations and facilitates effective housing delivery . This innovative approach promises significant cost savings , job creation , and economic growth .
The lab aims to advance affordable housing nationwide by optimising the land development approval process with its solutions .
