At Home@ix, we're applying digital twin technology to make affordable homes sustainable, efficient and to increase the living standards of all our homemakers. Originally used in mega-developments and skyscrapers, we're using digital twins to tackle the affordable housing crisis. We don't see why such high tech advances should be limited to high-end projects? Everyone deserves the benefits that digital twins provide.
Digital Twin Technology
The Home@ix digital twin: Advanced technology for affordable housing
What is a Digital Twin?
A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical building, detailing every material, component, and system.
It systemises the entire lifecycle of a home—from design and construction to long-term maintenance and end-of-life recycling, ensuring homes are built and managed with precision, sustainability, and efficiency.
Why Use Digital Twins for Affordable Housing?
Digital twin technology offers unique advantages for affordable housing by systemising the homebuilding process, from design to recycling.
Home@ix uses this technology to deliver quality, sustainable housing at scale, offering a powerful solution to the housing crisis. The benefits impact everyone involved, from homeowners to entire communities.

Key Advantages
Precision and Systemisation
Digital twins allow for complete systemisation of the construction process, tracking and optimising every material and connection.
This enables mass customisation, where homeowners can choose materials, energy systems, and designs, all while maintaining cost-efficiency and sustainability. Each decision is integrated into the digital twin, and through the Home@ix dashboard, homeowners can personalise and manage their home in real-time, ensuring the build proceeds exactly as planned.
Efficiency Across the Supply Chain
Acting as a central hub, the digital twin connects contractors, suppliers, housing associations, and residents, ensuring seamless communication and collaboration.
This streamlines the construction process, reducing errors and speeding up project completion, providing high-quality homes faster.
Sustainability and Circular Economy Integration
Digital twins make sustainable practices integral, from design and specifying your home through to construction and end-of-life recycling.
By tracking carbon emissions and energy use, they can enable the generation of carbon credits, which we hope in the future can reduce the cost of housing and contribute to the circular economy.
Real-Time Data for Long-Term Management
Digital twins provide ongoing insights into home performance, enabling proactive maintenance that reduces repair costs and maintains energy efficiency.
Everyone who owns or lives in a Home@ix home benefits. Fleet owners like housing associations and landlords can use this data to manage property portfolios more effectively, improving the overall quality of affordable housing while budgeting for decades.
