The Estonian Building Registry (EHR) has implemented a software solution for BIM-based building permit processes, simplifying and shortening the processing time for building permits.
Additional infrastructure objects will be introduced into the project to test the infrastructure model, in areas such as traffic management, lighting, water drainage and utility structures.
To increase the Estonian construction sector’s productivity by 2030, the platform aims to be the centre of information exchange between participants in the lifecycle of a building and the public sector. The platform does not store the information itself but consolidates the information from different databases and displays it as a 3D model.

Launched in 2017, KROQI is a platform associated with an ecosystem of applications for construction professionals to work together within BIM at all stages of a building’s lifecycle, thus improving the management of planning and resources.
The BIM 2022 plan, a pioneer within continental Europe, was implemented in 2019 to integrate mass digital use, focussing on two key goals:
- Generalise the use of BIM in buildings throughout all sectors by 2022.Â
- Provide professionals with the tools to work within the framework.Â
