The National Research Council is seeking proposals for automated solutions to improve compliance checking for building permit applications using artificial intelligence.
The focus areas of the project include automated evaluation of two-dimensional drawings such as PDF or CAD files, Building Information Models (BIM), digitalized construction codes, deterministic artificial intelligence systems, and human-in-the-loop AI agents.
The project provides maximum funding of $500,000 CAD with a project duration of up to 18 months.
Solution proposals can be submitted by businesses that are for-profit, incorporated in Canada at the federal or provincial level, and small and medium-sized businesses with 499 or fewer full-time equivalent employees.
Eligible businesses must conduct research and development activities in Canada. At least 50% of annual wages, salaries, and fees must be paid to employees and contractors who spend the majority of their time working in Canada.
At least 50% of full-time equivalent employees must have Canada as their ordinary place of work, and at least 50% of senior executives at the Vice President level and above must have Canada as their principal residence.
