Systems for code compliance checking of building projects require representation of
building codes. Building codes are complex, and the development of computer implementable
repre
sentations is challenging. As a case in point
, this paper reports o
n
experiences
gained
while
model
ing
İ
zmir Municipality Housing and Zoning Code (IMHZcode). First, IMHZcode
was
analysed to understand the various types of information contained in it
in order to develop a
comprehensive building code model
. The rules
were
classified according to
their
for
malizability
and
self
-
containedness
.
Then, e
xisting model
ing approaches
were
evaluated to
find
the most
convenient method that
meets
the needs for modeling IMHZcode. A key criterion
used in this
evaluation
was
ease of maintenance by non
-
p
rogrammers. The pa
per concludes
with an illustrative
example of the selected methodology´s application within the context of IMHZcode

.
