Project Overview

Change toolkit for digital building permit project (CHEK) is an innovation and research EU-funded HorizonEurope project that will provide an innovative toolkit supporting the digitalization of building permit issuing and automated compliance checks. CHEK will provide an innovative kit of both, methodological and technical tools to digitalize building permitting and automated compliance checks on building designs and renovations in European urban areas and regions.

Project Leadership

The CHEK project is managed by Technische Universiteit Delft (TU Delft), a prestigious institution renowned for its leadership in research and innovation, particularly in areas such as BIM (Building Information Modeling), GeoBIM integration, and the digital transformation of construction and urban planning processes.

As the project coordinator, TU Delft plays a central role in:

  • Strategic Oversight: Ensuring the project remains aligned with its objectives of enabling digital building permits (DBP) across Europe.
  • Consortium Leadership: Coordinating the efforts of 19 multidisciplinary partners, including municipalities, software developers, researchers, and construction experts.
  • Research and Development: Contributing its technical expertise in GeoBIM and 3D city models to drive innovation in interoperability, standardization, and automation within the building permit process.
  • Work Package Supervision: Overseeing progress across the project’s work packages, particularly those related to regulatory frameworks, data interoperability, and demonstration phases.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Acting as a liaison between academic, governmental, and private sector stakeholders to foster collaboration and scalability.
