AI Design-Code Compliance & Auto-Permit
Checks BIM models against encoded building codes, fire rules and sustainability criteria before submission - and files machine-to-machine.

The Challenge
Permits bounce back on late-found code violations, and manual code checking is slow and error-prone. Qatar's Oct-2025 AI permit system now clears code-perfect submissions in 120 minutes instead of 30 days.
How It Works
- Encodes code rule sets and ingests Revit/IFC models plus rejection history.
- ML rule-checking on model geometry flags violations; an optimiser proposes fixes.
- Delivers a pre-submission violation report, grouped fixes and a permit-ready package.
What It Removes
- Manual code and GSAS walk-throughs
- Permit resubmission cycles
- Hand-written compliance narratives
Input Data RequirementsRevit/IFC models, Qatar Building Code/QCS 2014, GSAS criteria, QCDD fire rules, permit-comment and rejection history, ministry interfaces (Phase B)
Output FormatPre-submission violation report with model locations, fix list by discipline, bilingual compliance narrative, machine-to-machine submission package
“It checks our models against the code before submission, so they clear on the first try instead of bouncing back.”
