Automated building compliance checking : emphasis on building placement and parking availability
(2019) In Student thesis series INES NGEM01 20191Dept of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science
- Abstract
- Building permit automation has become a rising international topic in the past decade due to its convenience and efficiency. Automated compliance checking saves time and resources, which is beneficial for the construction industry. Researchers have already automated parts of the building permit process and the results proved that automated building requirement compliance checking is efficient. This thesis aims to contribute by developing an algorithm to automate the checking of building placement and parking availability. The algorithm should be able to: 1) check if the house is in a buildable area, 2) examine if the house placement meets the minimum distance requirement, 3) determine parking availability with accordance to house...

Automated compliance checking saves time and resources, which is beneficial for the construction industry. Researchers have already automated parts of the building permit process and the results proved that automated building requirement compliance checking is efficient. This thesis aims to contribute by developing an algorithm to automate the checking of building placement and parking availability. The algorithm should be able to: 1) check if the house is in a buildable area, 2) examine if the house placement meets the minimum distance requirement, 3) determine parking availability with accordance to house placement.
The algorithm in this study is developed in Feature Manipulation Engine (FME). Building placement automation is achieved through minimum distance logic while parking availability automation is achieved through transformations that utilize geometrical relationships. To test the algorithm, a case study is conducted for Höganäs municipality in Southern Sweden.
In Sweden, each municipality has its own detailed development plan, which regulates the usage of land and water within its geographical boundaries. The detailed development plan also regulates building requirements. The results of the testing indicate that the developed algorithm can accurately automate building placement and parking availability according to the requirements in Höganäs municipality’s detailed development plan. The results are satisfactory, demonstrating that it is feasible to automate the checking of certain building requirements in Sweden. (Less) - Popular Abstract
- Building permit is an important aspect of urban planning and an essential part of the construction industry. In general, a permit is required for the construction or demolition of a building. The permit process is complex because different aspects of a building must be checked to ensure compliance to the regulations. Since manual checking is time consuming and inefficient, building permit automation became a necessity. In recent years, building permit automation has become a rising international topic that has been studied by various institutes and organizations. The results of these studies prove that automated checking of building requirements is convenient and time efficient.

Since manual checking is time consuming and inefficient, building permit automation became a necessity.

In Sweden, each municipality has its own detailed development plan, which regulates the usage of land and water within its geographical boundaries. Specific building requirements can be found in the detailed development plan. This study automates parts of the building permit process according to the requirements in Höganäs municipality’s detailed development plan.
The algorithm developed in this study successfully automates the compliance checking of building placement and parking availability. Building placement automation is achieved through minimum distance methods and parking availability automation is achieved through geometrical transformations. The results are satisfactory, demonstrating that it is feasible to automate the checking of certain building requirements in Sweden. (Less)
