What it does.

Nexus DBP is a BIM-based digital building permit platform that transforms traditional paper-driven permit processes into fully automated, rule-driven digital workflows. Municipalities, local authorities, and developers submit, review, and approve building permits against digitized building codes using 3D BIM models, AI-assisted rule checking, and structured audit trails.
