Automated Compliance Checks in AECO by Leveraging Semantic Technologies

Graphwise 09 Jun 2025
This blog post demonstrates how knowledge graphs can automate building compliance checks by integrating land use data with 3D building information models, using the Berlin TXL airport transformation as a real-world example. People have been trying to automate building compliance checking for over 60 years. It might seem surprising, but even the very first researchers understood how much automation could help with problem solving in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AECO) domain. Still, making this idea work completely wasn’t that simple. One big reason why automation hasn’t.
