ACCORD Project - Digital Building Permit

What Makes It Great

Breaking barriers

Digitalised building permits and compliance using Geo-BIM is a cross-silos integration with the construction industry. It promises to bring tangible benefits for communities and sectors, building a trustful and fair ecosystem. Automated checking is less error-prone, more predictable, and more objective. Cost-effective verification limits the number of risks on the applicant side, allows to focus on the complicated issues on the authority side and enables the circular economy.

Real Life Needs

Digitalise permitting and compliance processes using BIM and other data sources will not only improve the productivity and quality of design and construction processes. It will support the design of climate-neutral buildings and advance a sustainable built environment in line with the EU Green Deal and new European Bauhaus initiative.

About

ACCORD’s objective is to digitalise permitting and compliance processes using BIM and other data sources to improve the productivity and quality of design and construction processes, support the design of climate-neutral buildings and advance a sustainable built environment in line with the EU Green Deal and new European Bauhaus initiative.

These digitized processes must be human-centred, transparent and cost-effective for the permit applicants and authorities. Another objective is to develop and integrate technical solutions for automating compliance checking of buildings in their design, construction and renovation/demolition lifecycle phases. All this will be based on open and neutral data exchange standards.

How do we get there

The Project will develop a semantic framework for European digital building permitting processes, regulations, data and tools.

This framework will drive rule formalization and integration of existing compliance tools as microservices.

Solutions and tools will provide consistency, interoperability and reliability with national regulatory frameworks, processes and standards.

The solutions are implemented and demonstrated across construction projects in various EU regulatory contexts: UK, Finland, Estonia, Germany and Spain.

ACCORD supports Key Strategic Orientations

Developing open APIs allowing local authorities to choose their digital services without a lock-in.

Automating the checking of environmental regulations (CO2 emissions, LCA and circular economy) by developing machine-readable rules, thus steering the digital and green transition, and involving relevant stakeholders through co-creation, and

Creating information guidelines for structured data models to increase the value of buildings and reduce their operating costs and

Providing the open ACCORD framework based on microservices allowing businesses to connect and develop solutions resulting in a scalable, durable and flexible permitting ecosystem.
