Struck AI

This algorithm supports employees in assessing whether a proposed building activity may be licence-free on the basis of relevant laws and regulations, such as the Environment Act and the Building Projects in the Living Environment Decree (Bbl). The system analyses entered characteristics of a building plan and compares them with applicable rules to provide an indicative assessment and explanation.

Responsible use

Goal and impact

The algorithm is used as a support tool when assessing questions about permit-free building. It helps employees and possibly initiators to gain quicker insight into the applicable regulations and conditions for permit-free building. The results serve as an indication and are always checked by a staff member.

Considerations

Municipalities may consider using Struck AI as a support tool for interpreting building regulations and assessing spatial plans. Struck is an AI platform that searches building regulations, environmental plan regulations and technical standards and translates them into understandable answers and controls for specific sites or projects.

Human intervention

The algorithm can help people understand the rules around permit-free building more quickly. The final assessment always remains the responsibility of the municipality.

  • Residents and entrepreneurs can apply for a building activity digitally (DIGID or E-recognition) via the Environment Counter. This algorithm looks at being able to apply for activities, with this specifically seeing whether or not the Building Activity Omgevingsloket requires an environmental permit.
