Integrating building and context information for automated zoning code checking: a review

Interoperability approaches have attracted much attention in the AEC/FM industry with increased interest Building Information Modeling (BIM) studies since 2000’s. Especially, integration of BIM GIS is crucial for areas, which need detailed information on buildings and their surroundings. Automated code compliance checking against zoning codes an area that requires both data building design data. In ideal automated process, should be retrieved from responsible authority, regarding neighborhood project located directly local municipality’s GIS, supplied by designer as a file. The process able to work combination generate report. Although recent BIM-GIS efforts been successful some context are limited, interoperability problem this field still needs addressed. This paper intends (1) provide critical review analysis current permit processes, (2) present opportunities implementation integrating might bring domain (3) identify promising future efforts.
