Abstract
Abstract. The digitalization of the process for building permit (involving the use of 3D information systems) is seen as a priority in a wide part of the world. Since it is a very multidisciplinary use case, involving a variety of stakeholders tackling complex issues and topics, some of them joined their efforts and skills in the European Network for Digital Building Permit. The initial activity of the network, after a review of on-going experiences, was a workshop to share knowledge about the topics involved and to identify the main ambitions of the network with respect to three pillars (i.e. Process – Rules and Requirements – Technology) and the related requirements. It was achieved through a collective brainstorming activity guided by digital tools, whose results were further analysed in a post-processing phase. Such results are presented in this paper and will be the base for planning the future network activity.
Highlights
From recent years a worldwide digitalisation process is ongoing in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry
In late 2000 the CORENET6 ePlanCheck was developed by the Building Construction Authority of Singapore, which adopted the early version of the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) as an open standard to exchange design information (Swaddiwudhipong & Kog, 2000)
In Italy public administrations have started to look at the Building Information Modelling (BIM)-based code checking topic since 2013, when a first pilot project was launched by the public works authority of Lombardia and Emilia Romagna (Ciribini et al, 2016) Other examples have been developed later involving public administrations at region, province and city level
Summary
From recent years a worldwide digitalisation process is ongoing in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry. The building permit process is considered as a promising use case for automation via digital data about buildings and the built environment (Eastman et al, 2009; Lee et al, 2016). The process of issuing a building permit consists of several steps, where a great number of stakeholders are involved, using many pieces of information. In many countries this information is still handled in analogue formats (or, at best, PDF documents) and in 2D. There has been an increasing interest in how the use of 3D information systems could be relevant for improving both the efficiency and the consistency of the planning permit processes, forming a core element of a move to fully digital planning and permitting. In Europe, the digitalisation of the building permit process was especially pushed by the Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on public procurement
