This study presents the development of a smart system for managing building permits in the Syrian Arab Republic, utilizing the Python programming language and the Flask web framework, built upon BIM principles. The integration of AI with BIM is well-documented for its effectiveness in improving process management within the construction sector. The system aims to enhance the efficiency of the traditional permit issuance process by increasing transparency, reducing time and costs, and improving accuracy and organization. Implementation of this system in a Syrian city, as a case study, led to significant improvements in processing speed, accuracy, and overall user satisfaction. This paper discusses the system’s design, implementation, and impact on the efficiency of building permit transactions, showcasing how digital solutions can significantly contribute to urban planning and development processes. The methodology aligns with the guidelines outlined in the governmental directive for building permits in Marota City (2023), ensuring compliance with local regulatory frameworks. 2025 2025 58 66 10.54216/IJBES.100207 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/22/show/3525
