Data gathered in study: Moving Automated Compliance Checking to the Operational Phase of the Building Life-cycle: Analysis and Feasibility Study in the UK

Construction regulations ensure a base level of safety of built assets. Formal checking of built assets against regulations happens at defined points in their life-cycle, and often there is limited automation involved. The movement towards digitising and automation elements of physical site inspections paves the way towards a whole life-cycle approach for compliance checking.This paper to which this research data refers explores whole life-cycle compliance checking. It does this by extending current checking processes which are common in the design and construction phases into the operational phase of the building life-cycle, proposing that the best way to achieve this is through automated/semi-automated data capture and analysis. To test the feasibility of this concept, this paper conducted proof of concept testing. One of these proof of concept demonstrators was a LIDAR scanner that could generate floor plan data and test it against regulations. This data-set contains the data collected in the testing of the demonstrator.Research results based upon these data are publihsed at https://doi.org/10.1080/15623599.2024.2366727
