Cover Story: Over the past few years, both researchers and industry practitioners have been advocating for digital twin (DT) adoption in the construction industry. Notwithstanding the advancement of DT, only minimal consideration has been given to the barriers hindering the technology’s adoption. Currently, no study has comprehensively reviewed the available literature on these barriers. This study conducts a comprehensive literature review on the barriers and presents a classification framework to enhance the DT adoption roadmap. The results show that only a few countries are spearheading DT adoption in the construction industry. This study discusses the main categories of the framework (stakeholder-oriented, industry-related, construction-enterprise-related, and technology-related barriers). View this paper
