5–6 May 2026 | Giessen, Germany, and online | VSK.Software as Premium Sponsor
The 3rd German Digital Building Permit Congress 2026 (Kongress Digitale Baugenehmigung) will take place at the Kongresshalle Giessen on 5 and 6 May 2026. VSK.Software is supporting the event, organised by Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM) and TransMIT GmbH, as a Premium Sponsor and will contribute its own technical presentations.
The congress will focus on the digitalisation of building permit procedures, the integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), as well as innovative approaches to automating digital checking and approval processes.
With our web-based checking software BIM.permit, we contribute to the digitalisation and automation of model checking and building permit procedures.
Technical Presentations and Practical Examples of Digital Building Permits
We particularly look forward to exchanging ideas with industry experts and attending presentations on current projects and practical applications.
Highlights include the evaluation of BIM-based building application reviews in North Rhine-Westphalia, as well as presentations by our partner Prosoz and VSK.Software.
1. Evaluation of BIM-Based Building Application Reviews in North Rhine-Westphalia
5 May 2026 | Programme session starting at 4:25 pm
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Markus König, Chair of Computing in Engineering, Ruhr University Bochum
The evaluation of BIM-based building application reviews in North Rhine-Westphalia provides insights into practical experience with digital building models in building control and approval processes. The focus is on lessons learned from real-world applications and the potential of BIM-based checking procedures to advance digital building permits.
2. The Future of the Building Permit Process – Prosoz
6 May 2026 | 10:10 am
Speakers: Daniel Hoffmann, Strategic Product Manager for Building and Environment, PROSOZ Herten, and Jürgen Brüggemeier, Head of Building Regulations, City of Gütersloh
The presentation “The Future of the Building Permit Process” explores the ongoing development of digital approval procedures.
With ProsozBIM, our partner Prosoz uses technology developed by VSK.Software. The solution enables BIM-based model checking to be integrated into digital administrative and building permit processes.
We look forward to gaining insights into its practical application and the interaction between digital administrative systems and automated model checking.
3. The Missing Piece: BIM in Building Permit Practice – VSK.Software
6 May 2026 | 11:40 am
Speaker: André Vonthron, Managing Director, VSK Software GmbH
In his presentation “The Missing Piece: BIM in Building Permit Practice”, André Vonthron will explore the importance of Building Information Modelling for digital building permit procedures and the practical integration of BIM-based checking processes.
The presentation will focus on how BIM can be applied in building permit procedures and which requirements must be met to successfully integrate digital model checking into everyday practice.
The different perspectives from software development, public administration and research highlight the importance of connecting digital platforms, administrative systems and automated model checking to shape the future of building permit procedures.
Meet VSK.Software in Giessen!
We look forward to discussing current challenges, practical experiences and new opportunities for digital building permits with professionals from public authorities, research institutions, planning and software development.
