Abstract - This study proposes a framework for integrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) with Digital Twin technology to enhance sustainable lifecycle management. Utilizing a G+1 residential building in Maharashtra as a case study, a BIM model was developed using Autodesk Revit and integrated with simulated sensor data to represent Digital Twin functionality. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in operational efficiency, specifically a ~20% reduction in energy consumption and a ~15% decrease in annual maintenance costs. This research provides a practical implementation roadmap for smart building technologies within the Indian residential construction sector.
