The construction industry has traditionally been slow to adopt digital technology, resulting in inefficient workflows, frequent cost overruns, and delays. Moreover, its fragmented structure, inherent to market dynamics, exacerbates these challenges. Embracing digitalization and transitioning to Industry 4.0 can substantially enhance efficiency and productivity in construction through increased innovation and improved collaboration, ultimately reducing information gaps and data discrepancies. This study aims to assess the potential integration of digital twin technology across various construction stages, spanning from initial design to project delivery. Existing literature emphasizes the transformative power of digital twin technology in advancing building innovation and environmental sustainability. These virtual replicas are crucial in optimizing industrial manufacturing by harmonizing production processes and societal interactions. A focused examination of digital twin technology applications in construction highlights its ability to streamline coordination and facilitate data sharing among stakeholders. Property owners increasingly recognise the value of digital twin technology in local contexts, driving the digitization of design and collaboration methods in construction. Integrating digital twin technology right from a project's inception and extending it across design phases optimizes project delivery, enhances asset quality, and contributes to societal sustainability. As the nexus between digitalization and sustainability goals strengthens, the construction industry stands at the cusp of a significant transformative journey
