Traditionally, building data and as-built information is stored away in physical format and sometimes inaccessible altogether. One of the reasons behind the development of Twinview’s digital twin platform for the property sector was to solve this issue and make life easier for facility managers.
Twinview aggregates the huge amounts of data that a building produces as well as storing as-built information digitally on a single platform that is easily accessible and maintains the golden thread of information.
The introduction of Twinview for iOS and Android allows facility managers to take full control over daily building operations including access to QR codes, IoT data streams and Bluetooth beacon technology.
Our mobile app has a built-in QR code manager and scanner that gives facility managers powerful tools to deploy QR codes across all of their assets, spaces and equipment. By simply pointing your camera at a discreet QR code, all associated asset data can be recalled instantly.
Our built-in Bluetooth beacon support opens exciting features such as automatic location and the tracking of assets. Learning how different spaces are being utilised means that a building’s performance can be truly optimised. The use of Bluetooth beacon technology allows facility managers to become more efficient in their roles which in turn drives down operational costs.
With Twinview, IoT-enabled technology such as sensors are placed around a building in order to monitor the performance of particular spaces and assets. This produces live data streams relating to functions such as heating, lighting and cooling. Accessing this information via our mobile app can help FM’s gauge how much energy they are expending including carbon usage. This is vital as it offers the ability to understand where money is being spent so you can come up with solutions to reduce costs.
Twinview is a browser-based digital twin platform for the property sector connecting building systems' data to a 3D model viewed on a single dashboard. Twinview becomes your first step to achieving Net Zero by providing continuous live data and optimising building performance whilst reducing costs and improving the user experience.

Loneliness is increasingly recognised as a public health issue, and the built environment has a role to play in addressing it. A well-designed building can meet every technical standard yet still leave people feeling isolated. Homes, workplaces, campuses and later-living communities often fall short not because they lack function, but because they lack connection. Architects and planners are beginning to ask a deeper question: how can buildings help people feel less alone? This isn’t about surveillance. It’s about feedback, helping designers and operators refine buildings after handover to better support wellbeing and social interaction. Technology won’t solve loneliness on its own, but used responsibly, digital twins like Twinview can guide the creation of buildings that feel more human.
