Our project guide is intended to help the state of Louisiana and local officials integrate the I-Codes into their current floodplain management regulatory processes related to Single-Family House to satisfy the requirements of flood-disaster regulations. The benefits of coordinating building codes and floodplain management regulations include reduced duplication and conflict between requirements and improved, consistent, and thorough review, permitting, and enforcement processes.

The developed web-based platform provides a design validation process for single-family houses and so on regarding flood disaster resilience building regulations. The main aspects of this project are four folds: ​

(1) An automated BIM rules-based checking system for flood design and construction rules

(2) A web-based tool to represent the automated validation system supported by an interactive questionnaire to validate single-family houses in the state of Louisiana among flood-related resilience regulations

(3) A 3D model visualizer using an IFC viewer to disseminate flood resilience best practices, including recommendations and requirements
