BRISE-Vienna (Building Regulations Information for Submission Envolvement)

The BRISE project combines the high-tech methods of Building Information Modelling (BIM), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR) to create a comprehensive, end-to-end digital and automated approval process. Instead of 2D paper plans, entirely digital 3D building models are used. The BRISE solution is thus an innovative basis for managing the entire construction project - from planning and submission to on-site construction control and acceptance of the finished building.
