Dubai has launched an online system for building permits and control services, aimed at streamlining procedures to reduce time and costs for customers.
The new system will implement automated checks using Building Information Modelling (BIM), which is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a building or infrastructure.
It also enables smart inspection and is linked to other relevant authorities involved in permit and control procedures.
Other features include automated checking services for consultants to ensure that charts comply with the Dubai Building Code and facilitates the automatic acquisition of data from charts and designs.
