US 2025/0225599 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATED BUILDING CODE CONFORMANCE

Abstract

The present disclosure describes system and methods for determination of building code performance. One such method comprises transforming a building code regulation into a computable record that defines a building design and/or engineering rule for the building code regulation; performing design model validation, wherein design model validation comprises entering building permit application file information and checking the building permit application file information against relevant codes and regulations, using a taxonomy or neural natural language processing techniques or artificial Intelligence; performing exchange model code checking; performing code conformance checking, wherein the code conformance checking comprises receiving a request from the exchange models and passing the building permit application file information to code checking modules; performing verification reporting based on input provided from the code checking modules; and performing results reporting based on findings of the verification reporting.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

performing, using at least one hardware processor, design model validation, wherein design model validation comprises entering building permit application file information and checking the building permit application file information against relevant building codes, ordinances and regulations, with or without using a taxonomy or code logic;
performing, using the at least one hardware processor, exchange model code checking, wherein exchange model code checking comprises using a plurality of exchange models;
performing, using the at least one hardware processor, code conformance checking, wherein the code conformance checking comprises receiving a request from the exchange models and passing the building permit application file information to code checking modules configured to check building code provisions and one or more regulations per local, state, national or international requirements;
performing, using at least one hardware processor, verification reporting based on input provided from the code checking modules;
and
performing, using at least one hardware processor, results reporting based on findings of the verification reporting.

3 more elements

A system comprising:

at least one hardware processor;
and
one or more software modules that are configured to, when executed by the at least one hardware processor:
perform design model validation, wherein design model validation comprises entering building permit application file information and checking the building permit application file information against relevant codes and regulations, using a taxonomy or neural Natural Language Processing (NLP) or artificial intelligence;
perform exchange model code checking, wherein exchange model code checking comprises using a plurality of exchange models;
perform code conformance checking, wherein the code conformance checking comprises receiving a request from the exchange models and passing the building permit application file information to code checking modules configured to check building code provisions and one or more regulations per local, state, national or international requirements;
perform verification reporting based on input provided from the code checking modules;
and
perform results reporting results reporting based on findings of the verification reporting.

6 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

perform design model validation, wherein design model validation comprises entering building permit application file information and checking the building permit application file information against relevant codes and regulations, using a taxonomy;
perform exchange model code checking, wherein exchange model code checking comprises using a plurality of exchange models;
perform code conformance checking, wherein the code conformance checking comprises receiving a request from the exchange models and passing the building permit application file information to code checking modules configured to check building code provisions and any regulations per local, state, national or international requirements;
perform verification reporting based on input provided from the code checking modules;
and
perform results reporting results reporting based on findings of the verification reporting.
