We investigate automated rule extraction from building regulations using a neural semantic parser. This task is regarded as a main requirement to enable automated compliance checking in the built en-
Computerising building regulations to allow reasoning is one of the main challenges in automated compliance checking (ACC) in the built environment. While there has been a long history of translating
New Zealand has a mature infrastructure management sector that prides itself on procurement practice innovation. However, the various infrastructure groups are not all at the same level of development, and
Classification systems are an essential part of the construction industry. They are used for managing project information, specifying building products, building information modelling and more. Since there is no common
Sewer pipe deterioration is driven by a finite number of root causes and processes. This work proposes a uniform classification system for deterioration that can be used for different purposes
As part of a proposed new build at the University of Canterbury (UC), BIP worked closely with the UC’s Facilities Management (UCFM) team, the design team and UC’s appointed BIM
This paper outlines the current state of the NZ Pipe Data Portal being developed as a part of the Quake Centre’s Building Innovation Partnership (BIP) programme. In addition, the paper
This paper outlines the current state of asset data standards used for three waters, and describes new activities and tools being developed to bring consistency and optimise data use.
Managing information over the whole-of-life of a building is a difficult process. However, this process is essential if we are to plan, design, construct, operate and dispose of a building
This paper identifies the inherent strengths/weaknesses of rigid timber-framed partitions and quantifies the onset drifts for different damage thresholds under a unidirectional quasi-static cyclic loading. It reports construction and testing
