The building permit – how to standardize traditionally established processes
<p>To get a building permit is a lengthy process involving a series of review and verification phases by the con- sultants and by the authorities and their agents. The work processes are, nowadays, governed by a large de- gree of individualistic work performances.</p><p>In order to facilitate a BIM-based building permit application, which exclusively uses the model and ist data as ist sole base of information, we analyzed traditional processes in the phase of issuing a building permit. This allows to restructure the steps of designing a building according to all required criteria and, step by step, remodel for the application of automated processes.</p><p>The facilitation of authorization processes will lead to checking machines which will already be applied by the consultants. Nevertheless, authorities need a secure way to evaluate the quality of the specific design in every regard.</p><p>For this purpose, we show how to combine different algorithms to check on the quality criteria for a building permit. There are qualitative criteria but also quantitative boundaries and also some nice-to-have items which can be compensated by alternative measures.</p>
