Abstract—Obtaining a building permit is an indispensable
factor for a successful construction project. However, from a
project management perspective, it is a non-transparent and
subjective variable. There is a gap of assistance for the building
application review in the building authorities. The approach
aims to develop a decision support system for building permit
review process from a project management's point of view. For
this purpose, the requirements for a decision support system
related to the building permit are identified. To convert the
theoretical system into a practical solution, a web application is
developed. The presented approach thus offers an alternative to
automated rule checking. The decision support system makes
the building permit process more objective and transparent.
Index Terms—Decision support system, building permit,
code compliance checking, process modeling, building
application review.
