Automating Geometry-Intensive Compliance Checking in BIM: Graph-Based Semantic Reasoning Framework

Automating compliance check for geometry-intensive regulations remains a significant technical bottleneck in Building Information Modeling (BIM), primarily due to the semantic disparity between high-level regulatory logic and structured IFC data. Existing methods, often reliant on static rule templates, struggle to traverse multi-hop reasoning chains or resolve latent spatial dependencies across multiple building entities.

PermitGPT: A Unified Generative-AI Pipeline for Construction Hazard Forecasting, Permit Prediction, and Community Impact

PermitGPT is a generative‑AI framework that transforms unstructured construction permit descriptions into structured outputs for safety hazard identification, permit requirement specification, and community impact assessment. It aligns data from the NYC Department of Buildings, OSHA, and NYC 311 to create 90,000 prompt‑response pairs, fine‑tunes three open‑weight language models, and evaluates them on 2,833 test cases, reporting complementary performance across inference speed, lexical overlap, and semantic alignment. The study presents an initial AI‑assisted approach to construction governance and outlines future evaluation and validation directions.

PlanSightRAG: A Visual-First Multimodal RAG for Automating Question Answering and Compliance Checking for Civil Standard Plans

PlanSightRAG is a visual-first multimodal retrieval‑augmented generation system designed to automate question answering and compliance checking of civil standard plans. It processes plan imagery directly, using a ColNomic‑3B multi‑vector retrieval engine, an agentic Planner‑Retriever‑Auditor‑Synthesizer, and MaxSim heatmaps to provide an evidence trail. The system achieves high recall on a new 4,056‑pair benchmark from five state DOTs, and demonstrates near‑perfect verdict accuracy on synthetic compliance drawings when a rule threshold is supplied, outperforming OCR‑based baselines.

Grounded Normative Rule Generation with Structured Search

The paper introduces Grounded Normative Rule Generation (GNRS) and a new framework called GNRS-Search that uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling to optimize a discrete And-Or Graph for rule synthesis. By separating operational feasibility from prose generation, the method localizes rule failures before final text creation. Evaluations on GNRS-Bench and RealCharter-Bench show significant improvements in rubric quality and executable metrics, demonstrating that the gains come from robust operational logic rather than stylistic tuning.

Agent Gym: A Framework for Continuous Evaluation and Evolution of LLM Agents Through Human-in-the-Loop Feedback

arXiv:2608. 15591v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) agents deployed in production environments face a fundamental tension: the agent's behavior is frozen at deployment time, while the business rules and edge cases it must handle continue to evolve.
