| The FORNAX™ product
was developed to perform automated checks on electronic
building plans and development plans against building
and land regulations (or guidelines) for design compliance.
With this product, users can perform building and
land design assessments in a quick and consistent
manner.
FORNAX™ reads in digital plans, performs
automated evaluation of the plans against a database
of codes of practice and regulations, and produces
reports on compliance or otherwise. On receiving
the report, the examining officer may grant a waiver
for non-compliance in certain cases. The final results
are then used for follow-up action between the developer,
the designer and the authority.
The following are some applications for this product:
- External Work Clearance - evaluation and decision-making
on standardized digital drawings created by most
CAD software against prescription-based Land Development
Plan Guidelines and Regulations, such as Set-back,
Plot Ratio and Landuse type.
- Building Plan Design
Clearance - checks proposals for compliance
with building regulations and covers
matters such as fire-escape route, materials,
ceiling heights and fire rating.
- Building Services
Design Clearance - performs compliance checks
on building services components
with building
regulations, such as ventilation systems,
hydraulic systems and fire protection systems.
