The toolkit highlights the benefits and costs associated with digital building permit systems, providing insights from international and EU frontrunners like Singapore, Dubai, and various European cities. It also provides resources such as BIM standards, guidelines, and training materials to help municipalities and applicants navigate the digital permit process. Additionally, it offers step-by-step guidelines for municipalities to start their digitalisation journey, including developing a roadmap, identifying necessary resources, and creating partnerships.

The report emphasises the importance of government support, stakeholder engagement, and the use of open standards to avoid vendor lock-in. It includes practical examples and best practices from cities that have successfully implemented digital building permit systems.

The toolkit aims to foster a more efficient, transparent, and sustainable construction sector through the adoption of digital technologies.
