Investigating the automation of building permit checks through 3D GeoBIM information
share
The automation of building permits has great relevance within the worldwide digitalization efforts. The reuse of models produced by designers and the integration within geoinformation, necessary for many regulations, would make the process more effective. However, a gap is left by most of studies and pilots adopting conceptual approaches. In this paper, rather than taking a top-down approach, we departed from the data as available and made the necessary inferences, which gave the opportunity to tackle basic and common issues often preventing a smooth automatic processing. While the case study is specific in location, regulations and input models, the type of issues encountered in data integration and extraction of incomplete and partially invalid data is exemplary for automated code compliance checking in general. As such, guidelines were proposed accordingly, together with a tool to work with such models and a possible strategy to add georeferencing information to the IFC models.
