Case Study: Ajman Municipality achieves digitalized building permit validation with Avineon GeoBIM

Ajman Municipality digitizes permit reviews with Avineon, converting 15,000 legacy plans to BIM

The Building Permit Department of Ajman Municipality in the UAE faced a manual and inefficient building approval process. They struggled with legacy 2D CAD drawings that prevented 3D visualization and complicated validation against building standards and data analytics. Partnering with vendor Avineon, the municipality sought to digitalize its operations using a GeoBIM solution.

Avineon implemented an interactive GeoBIM application, which involved converting 15,000 legacy plans from CAD to BIM, developing new data standards and templates, and creating a 3D GIS viewer integrated with existing systems. This solution digitalized and automated the submission, validation, and permit process. The results enabled engineers to visualize and analyze building designs in an integrated 3D environment, performing vital analytics like shadow and soil analysis before construction approval.
