Imagine if getting a building permit was as easy as uploading a file and getting an instant 'yes' or 'no' instead of waiting months for a person to check blueprints. This project creates a digital system that automatically checks if a building design follows all the local rules. It's like a spell-checker, but for architecture and city laws.
Building permit processes are currently manual and document-based, leading to low accuracy and efficiency. This causes significant delays and errors in the planning and construction phases of urban development.
A toolkit of methodological and technical tools for digital permitting and automated compliance checks. This includes two demonstration scenarios: one for new construction and one for building renovation.
If you are an AEC firm dealing with constant redesigns due to permit errors — this project developed automated compliance checks that verify building designs against regulations instantly. This reduces the time spent on manual corrections and planning delays.
If you are a software company dealing with outdated manual permit workflows — this project developed a scalable toolkit based on OpenAPI. This allows you to integrate digital permitting and geospatial data into municipal portals.
If you are a renovation company dealing with unpredictable approval timelines for old buildings — this project developed a specific demonstration scenario for building renovation. This helps predict compliance issues before the official application is filed.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost information is provided.
Yes, the software follows OpenAPI logic, which is designed to enable replicability in any other European country.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though it emphasizes open standards and interoperability.
The project develops scalable solutions for regulatory and policy contexts to align different municipal processes.
The project period runs from 2022-10-01 to 2025-09-30, indicating the final results will be ready by late 2025.
The consortium is highly commercially oriented with a 47% industry ratio, including 9 SMEs. With 19 partners across 12 countries, the project balances academic research from 3 universities with practical application from 9 industry players and 6 other organizations, ensuring the resulting tools are grounded in real-world municipal and AEC needs.
