Future Insight wins buildingSMART award with their BIM-based permit check for Estonia
Zwolle/Estonia - Future Insight and the Ministry of Economy and Communications of Estonia are the proud winners of the buildingSMART award in the category of Technology 2022. With their submission of an automatic, BIM-based permit check, they won an award at the buildingSMART International Standards Summit in Montreal.
Web-based viewer accessible to all stakeholders
The permit checker automatically checks whether the BIM design meets the specified permit requirements. About 50 checks are now performed automatically in a viewer. Web-based, so it is easily accessible for the architect, developer and permit employee. This increases the transparency in the permit process, improves the quality and significantly reduces the turnaround time.
Scalability - and replicability provides huge potential impact
Because the solution is entirely based on international open standards such as IFC and because it is web-based, it is highly scalable and replicable. In essence, it can easily be adapted to local situations for any country or government. That provides a huge potential impact which was therefore an important reason for the jury to grant Future Insight the award.
Estonia is the first country in the world to implement such a system nationwide. But that's not all: the first countries are already actively looking to follow Estonia's good example.
Want to know more about the permit check?
Future Insight is very proud with the recognition they have received from the global Building SMART community, which is committed to digitally transforming the built environment.
