City of Gothenburg first to add a building to the National Geodata Platform

A new national specification is being developed that describes the building information and how buildings are to be made available in the National Geodata Platform (NGP). "The whole of 2022 is a test year for the building part, which will then be published in the platform.

The fact that a municipality has now delivered a building is an important milestone on the way to a first valid version of the specification ", says Ulrika Roos, Lantmäteriet 's work package leader for the development of the national specification for construction.

Work on NGP, which will provide a digital community building process with nationally standardized information, continues.

More than 200 municipalities have joined the platform as producers and more of them have than 40 started delivering digital detailed plans. By combining these digital detailed plans with the building information, the potential for generating large societal benefits increases significantly.

- It is very gratifying that a municipality has now succeeded in delivering to the platform, and we hope that more municipalities will soon want to get started. test.

The new specification provides opportunities to visualize the buildings in 3D and to link information from the building permit process to the building, which has long been requested by the municipalities, says Ulrika.

First out is the bath at Hisingen

The city of Gothenburg is the first municipality to deliver building geometries according to the new national specification that is being developed. Through measurements in aerial photographs, geometries were created that follow the national specifications for buildings.

- We chose the bath at Hisingen, which we know is a complex building. This is to see how well we could understand and apply the national specifications in a tricky case. We also wanted to look at how our current measurement instructions and processes meet the requirements of the national specifications.

- Some questions arose along the way, but with support from Lantmäteriet we have now had a successful test delivery, says Jonas Lord, Technical Surveyor at the Measure and map unit/Geodata department City of Gothenburg.

The next step for the city of Gothenburg is to test whether they can automatically pick out buildings in a area to test on a slightly larger scale.

- The next step is to make a slightly larger test delivery of more buildings. The idea is to this time make an automatic export of buildings from our database. In the future, it also remains to develop a process that supports that necessary information is added to the building objects throughout the life cycle, says Jonas.

NGP - for a digital community building process

Smarter community building process aims to with the digitalisation opportunities to create a simpler, more open and more efficient planning and construction process for the benefit of citizens, companies and other actors. process.
