• Abstract: To improve residents' well-being in Australia's urban areas, governments have introduced policy reforms such as SEPP65, BADS, and SPP7.3 to enhance apartment design quality. These regulations require precise geometric and spatial analysis to evaluate health-related features, including daylight access, natural ventilation, privacy, and space efficiency. However, compliance checking remains challenging due to its manual, time-intensive nature. Additionally, evolving policies limit scalability for large-scale assessments across thousands of apartments. Existing automated floor plan analysis methods are fragmented and typically focus on single apartments, lacking a unified framework for multi-unit compliance checking. This article explores current advancements in automated floor plan analysis, particularly AI-driven approaches, and highlights key challenges in their practical adoption. To address these gaps, a conceptual framework is proposed for automated compliance checking in multi-apartment buildings. A Large Language Model (LLM) is used within a Rule Engine to convert textual building codes into executable, explainable rules. A Data Extraction Engine segments floor plan images into elements such as walls, rooms, fixtures, text, and symbols, and transforms them into a structured building graph with topological relationships. This structured representation is then evaluated by a Compliance Check Engine, which leverages LLM-generated rules for assessment. The proposed framework offers a scalable, consistent, and transparent approach to automated compliance checking across jurisdictions, supporting efficient enforcement of apartment design standards and promoting healthier, higher-density urban development.
