GeoBIM for Building Permit in Rotterdam
Summary
3D information and 3D models can give an extremely valuable contribution to support the municipalities in the building permission issuing process.
This project intends to accomplish the unofficial collaboration carried out between the 3D geoinformation group at the Delft University of Technology and the Municipality of Rotterdam (team H. Tezerdi, R. Manbodh) within the EuroSDR GeoBIM project, in the investigation of the GeoBIM ‘building permission issuing’ use case.
GeoBIM is intended as the integrated information from the geospatial domain and the Building Information Models.
The automation of the regulation checks is further explored by this project. In particular, two regulations were chosen for having potentially higher advantages by the system, and higher compliance and effective assessment urgency. These are analysed and translated to more formal languages within workshops and sessions in collaboration with the municipality officers usually devoted to the interpretation of such rules. n or data required to fulfil the task, as available for the municipality.
A tool will be implemented, allowing the automatic or semi-automatic checks of the compliancy to the selected regulations using a BIM model and a 3D city model as input.
The continuous feedback and exchange will guarantee the developed methodology to be close enough to the practice needs in order to be actually employed in the municipalities workflows.
A further outcome of this project will be a list of guidelines and recommendations, addressed to designers and city modelers, to be followed when building the 3D city models and the building information models involved in the procedure, in order the automation to be successful.
Started October 2019
Workshops in the Gemeente Rotterdam
1st Workshop: 16th October 2019.
First workshop in the Municipality of Rotterdam, with the Municipality officers and experts about the building permission issuing process. The aim of the workshop was the understanding of the involved regulations (building dimensions and parking spaces design) by clarifying their correct interpretation with the help of the expert technicians.
2nd Workshop: 5th November 2019.
Second workshop in the Municipality of Rotterdam. Experts in the fields related to further parts of the building permission issuing are involved.
