[ui!] on Tour!

The 3rd Digital Building Permit Congress will take place on May 5 and 6, 2026, at the Congress Hall in Giessen.

Prof. Dr. Dr. e.h. Lutz Heuser will give a presentation on interoperability and AI entitled “Integrated Workplace for Smart Municipalities” as part of the conference.

The digitization of building administration has long since become a key lever for faster, more transparent, and more reliable approval procedures. New legal requirements and political initiatives to accelerate housing construction are increasing the pressure to act – and at the same time opening up great opportunities for modern, efficient processes. Against this backdrop, the Digital Building Permit 2026 congress will once again bring together experts from administration, planning, science, and business to discuss practical solutions, current research, and successful application examples.

Our focus areas for 2026 are

• BIM + GIS: The growing importance of integrated geodata in digital building permits
• Interoperability: How digital platforms and systems can work together seamlessly
• Artificial intelligence: Meaningful applications, automated decision-making processes, and technological innovations for future-proof building administrations
• International perspectives: What we can learn from successful digital approval procedures in other countries

In 2026, you can look forward to concrete insights into new technologies, tried-and-tested best practices, and strategic approaches that will modernize approval processes in the long term and strengthen the construction industry.
