29 Oct 2004 – As the leading
provider of Building Plan Checking software, novaCITYNETS
actively participates in international seminars with
their Norwegian counterparts, EPM Technology. So it
wasn’t a surprise when both companies seized
the opportunity to seal a partnership agreement during
the Norwegian Royal State visit to Singapore, led
by Their Majesties the King and Queen of Norway.
The partnership agreement will see joint
efforts on marketing of a packaged solution that includes
FORNAX™ and EPM’s Express Data Model (EDM)
in Norway.
Their Majesties the King and Queen of
Norway were in Singapore to attend a seminar to establish
a framework for collaboration between Singapore and
Norway, in both public and private sectors. Collaboration
was evident in the joint presentation of Norwegian
System for e-Government, ByggSøk, involving
the Norwegian Homebuilder Association, Statens Bygningstekniske
Etat, Oslo Kommune, DDS, EPM technology, Octaga as
well as novaCITYNETS.
During this session, Nova demonstrated
2 key scenarios using e-PlanCheck system, which was
developed for Building & Construction Authority
(BCA), Singapore and implemented using our flagship
product FORNAX™. The first scenario saw FORNAX™ successfully
perform an auntomated check on Norwegian Munkerud
House project against the Norwegian zoning regulations.
The second scenario ran a series of
intelligent checks of a Norwegian building, specifically
Oslo’s AHUS hospital against Singapore building
regulation. The success of the verification demonstrated
FORNAX™’s potential for internationalization
in different regulatory environments.

About FORNAX™
FORNAX™ 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.
The software reads 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.
