CHEKdbp

Today’s building permit issuance is mainly a manual, document-based process. It therefore suffers from low accuracy, low transparency and low efficiency. This leads to delays and errors in planning, design and construction. Several attempts have been developed to push forward the digitalisation of building permit procedures. But none of these have led to complete adoption of digital building permit processes within municipalities. The aim of CHEK is to take away barriers for municipalities to adopt digital building permit processes by developing, connecting and aligning scalable solutions for regulatory and policy context, for open standards and interoperability (geospatial and BIM), for closing knowledge gaps through education, for renewed municipal processes and for technology deployment. CHEK will do this by providing an innovative kit of both methodological and technical tools to digitalise building permitting and automated compliance checks on building designs and renovations in European urban areas and regions. Modularity and standardisation of solutions will enable replicability in any country and context.
