In the task of 3D indoor modelling from point clouds we face the problem of creating a corpus of geospatial based on statistical observations and pattern recognition, which is part of natural language programming. The aim of this research is to automatically generates a learnable and interpretable 3D model of indoor spaces at specific level of detail (LoD). We treat the 3D modelling of indoor...
Introduction
In a world characterized by resource scarcity, particularly in terms of skilled labor and materials, the imperative to maximize existing resources has never been more pronounced. This necessity extends beyond traditional perspectives, encompassing sectors with a significant impact on society. In the dynamic realm of urban development, decision-makers are captivated by the...
Introduction
The approval process is crucial for construction projects in Europe, with varying regulations across member states. Efficient navigation through this complexity significantly influences project success. In Germany, the average building permit procedure takes 96 days, due to the limited digitalization in permit authorities, causing delays and inquiries [1]. Our AI-supported...
The construction industry relies heavily on building codes and regulations to uphold safety, structural integrity, and environmental sustainability. Yet, the intricate nature of these codes poses significant challenges, demanding specialized knowledge for accurate interpretation and assessment.
The complexities associated with building codes manifest in various ways. Specialized expertise...
Introduction
Development of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has introduced an opportunity to automat various processes in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) domain, including design review. Yet, in practice, despite the presented opportunities, design review processes continue to involve cumbersome paper trails and time-consuming manual work. The concept of Automated...
In the European project “DigiChecks: Digital environment for management of permits and compliance in building and construction” [1], a data space has been designed to automate the management of permits and compliance checks in the construction sector through interoperable, trustworthy, and sovereign data sharing among distributed services.
The management of building permits is made up of...
Digital building permission is a rising use case of BIM in recent years. As reported by Noardo et al. [1] research in this field has focused most on the development of code compliance checking systems. The objective of a code compliance checking system is the automation of code checking with a high degree of automation. However, fully automated checking is not feasible for all requirements....
• General statement
Automated compliance checking for the built environment is currently being implemented in several jurisdictions implementing the same paradigm as the Singapore ePlanCheck solution.
• Problem statement
There has been relatively little work on how research work on the problem of automated compliance checking could be implemented as a complete system.
• Specific...
Abstract
This paper reports on the design and development of a digital compliance workbench. It examines a series of experimental developments over the course of 15 years to allow domain experts from the regulatory sector and from the design sector to create and deploy automated compliance checking. It explores the criteria that such a system must meet, examining each of Eastman’s 4-stage...
Automated Compliance Checking in the Architecture Engineering and Construction industry
Automated Compliance Checking (ACC) is rapidly gaining ground in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. ACC has been a research topic for several decades, but as it is closely related to building permits, the topic is benefiting from the recent attention that building permits...
- Introduction
The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is subject to many building codes and regulations that apply to the design and construction of buildings. These regulations often involve complex language and technical vocabulary that can give rise to different interpretations, depending on their context and purpose, and therefore a difficulty in their...
Abstract
In the evolving landscape of digitalization, automating building permit processes are crucial for municipalities and other governmental bodies. Our research addresses the complexities of modeling digital building permit regulations, considering the level of the information needs (LoIN) for geometry-based regulations in four municipalities (Prague, Lisbon, Vila Nova de Gaia and...
Although urban permitting is one of the main tools for guaranteeing the quality and performance of the building stock, it is characterized by procedures that are poorly assisted by technological resources. Indeed, current procedures for permitting are largely based on the analysis of two-dimensional drawings and PDFs’ or paper (Noardo et al., 2021). Therefore, delays in issuing building...
Introduction
General statement
The construction industry faces adverse health and safety (H&S) performance challenges. It is well-known that construction fatalities are three times higher than the all-industry rate in the UK. These H&S performance issues are further manifested in infrastructure projects that are typically large and complex, and involve many workers and machinery...
General statement
A paradigm shift has taken place in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector as a result of the digitalized opportunities offered by Building Information Modelling (BIM). Our research focuses on the potential of the Information Delivery Specification (IDS) as a useful tool for the exchange and validation of Information Requirements (IR), which are one...
