The Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB) was a UK-based organization established to support the digital transformation of the built environment, although it completed its mission and closed in September 2022. As a partnership between the University of Cambridge and the UK's Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, CDBB aimed to improve the planning, construction, maintenance, and integration of infrastructure using digital technologies like Building Information Modelling (BIM) and digital twins. CDBB collaborated with entities like the Building Research Establishment (BRE) and the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), working on projects such as the National Digital Twin program.
