BIM-Driven Spatial Planning and Permitting Efficiencies for Municipalities

Recent technological advances in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, including the implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and automated data capturing tools, have enabled the AEC industry to commence its digital journey in the era of big data. Over the last decade, electronic permitting (e-permitting) practices have been introduced in many municipal jurisdictions around the world, aimed at replacing the traditional and inefficient paper-based practices. The main objective of this research is to address the future demands of municipalities through integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) on e-permitting platforms to facilitate permitting review processes, accommodate the need for spatial planning of construction projects, and improve the management of municipal assets.
