    Construction Dynamics And Digitalization
    (Faculty of Engineering, 2025-09-09) Premachandra, P.N
    The construction industry is at the edge of a decisive transformation, moving away from fragmented, paperbased practices toward an era defined by intelligent digitalization. At the center of this shift is the Digital Twin- a living, data rich model that synchronizes the physical and virtual realms of construction. Bypaper-based Integrating Building Information modeling (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing, Digital Twins enable Projects to move from reactive monitoring to proactive, predictive control. This paper examines their influence on Construction dynamics, demonstrating how 4D scheduling with Primavera P6 and intuitive dashboards guided by PMBOK-7 principles elevate visibility, collaboration, and decision making. A case study of the Maldives International Airport new terminal illustrates tangible outcomes: real-time clash detection, optimized sequencing, energy efficient design, and measurable carbon emission reductions. Beyond showcasing benefits, the study outlines a pragmatic roadmap for Sri Lanka, stressing the importance of regulatory reform, academia-industry partnerships, and pilot implementations. The findings suggest that Digital Twins are not distant aspirations but present-day necessities for sustainable, data driven construction.

    THE APPLICABILITY OF CARBON EMISSION ESTIMATION WITH BIM ENVIRONMENT: SRI LANKAN CONTEXT
    (Ceylon Institute of Builders, 2025) Perera D.A.M.V; Allis C; Perera B.K.C; Lokuge A
    The global construction industry is increasingly adopting sustainable practices and advanced technologies to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impacts. Within this context, managing carbon emissions has emerged as a critical component of sustainable development, with Building Information Modelling (BIM) serving as a pivotal tool in this pursuit. While developed countries have already integrated BIM and carbon emission estimates, there is a notable opportunity for similar advancements in developing countries, potentially leading to significant progress within the industry. Hence, this paper aims to explore the applicability of implementing BIM for carbon emission estimations in the Sri Lankan construction industry. A comprehensive review of existing literature identified the importance of carbon emission simulations, BIM implementation strategies and estimation procedures in other countries. Further, this research involved a survey to assess the familiarity and experience levels of construction professionals with BIM tools for carbon emission estimations in Sri Lanka. Findings from the research point to Autodesk Insight as the primary software tool used within the industry. While the industry demonstrates an awareness of these processes, its progress is hampered by a lack of experience in using these technologies for carbon emission estimation scenarios and the absence of crucial databases such as Environmental Product Declarations. The study recommends enhancing industry capacity through targeted training and the adoption of advanced tools. It also encourages further research to assess the compatibility of BIM technologies in the local context, aiming to bridge the gap and drive sustainable transformation in Sri Lanka’s construction sector.
