What Happened
Finland's building permit process is set to revolutionize with the new construction act, making it BIM model-based. This transition is made possible by the model specifications and inspection rules of the RAVA3Pro project, with Solibri as the lead executor.
Why It Matters
Using BIM models instead of 2D plans offers many advantages for the building permit process. One of the biggest is the automatic checking of plans, freeing time for permit authorities from manual work to more value-adding tasks. RAVA3Pro also provided designers with tools to check their plans before applying for a building permit.
What's Next
The significance of RAVA3Pro is not limited to the building permit phase. A model-based building permit promotes the comprehensive adoption of modeling in Finland's property and construction sector. Building information models are becoming the framework for digital twins, to which all design, procurement, construction, and property maintenance information is attached.
