AI-Enabled APRS-BIM Platform
Windover has launched a first-of-its-kind AI-Enabled Automated Plan Review Systems (APRS-BIM) to expedite and enhance a municipality’s permit review and approval process
TRANSFORMING CODE COMPLIANCE REVIEW and municipal workflows, POWERED BY AI
Windover developed an integrated one-stop ecosystem that enables municipal workflow transformation, from the moment a permit is submitted through the construction QA/QC workflow, to ensure that what is permitted is being built with accuracy and quality and follows the municipal building code. In addition, integrated virtual reality and XR technologies streamline remote/live onsite inspections between municipality inspectors and builders. It also supports documentation scans to ensure the city’s new build is recorded accurately for digitization and digital twin workflow. All of this is delivered in one universal solution that can be applied to any municipality. It was initially launched for a UAE municipality.
HOW IT WORKS:
This AI-enabled Automated Plan Review System (APRS)–Building Information Modeling (BIM) platform [patent pending] can take both 2D and 3D submissions, importing 2D architectural, structural, and MEP drawings and rapidly transforming them into a 3D BIM.
The platform then analyzes and quickly checks the submitted drawings/models against the municipality’s code requirements and identifies any compliance issues in a detailed report. In addition to the code compliance summary report, the platform visually illustrates the precise location of each deficiency within the permit submission drawings and the corresponding correct code requirements.
Windover’s AI-enabled APRS-BIM platform revolutionizes the design review process for municipalities. This seamless integration facilitates the efficient and accurate submission, review, and approval of building permits, reducing review times by up to 70%. The solution redefines what is possible in the entire lifecycle of construction plan management.
A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND PLATFORM
The APRS-BIM platform is a powerful tool to automate and empower permit reviewers responsible for evaluating drawings for code compliance with fast, comprehensive information so they can focus on what really matters – reviewing the issues within the drawings.
The APRS-BIM platform will provide a complete 3D model for those whom may not have the tools or capacity to generate a BIM model themselves. These users can then employ this 3D BIM model for virtual reality QA/QC and future coordination during construction. Creating this BIM model is also the first step in developing a comprehensive digital twin to support building operations years after construction is complete.
