Due to the increased popularity of utilizing digital methods for the planning and creation of building models, the construction industry is continuously being confronted with new challenges to overcome. The Building Information Modelling (BIM) assists in the crea-tion of highly accurate digital building models, which are able to incorporate a variety of different sets of data. However, the constant increase of information density and the heightened preference for using automated work steps is also creating a desire for an optimization of the entire construction process. A time-consuming part of the whole planning process involves the review of the building model’s compliance with applica-ble standards and regulations of the construction industry. At the moment, this process is predominantly being done manually and has a high tendency to be error-prone, which consequently leads to high follow-up costs and time delays in the construction process. For this reason, the development of an automated system to assess the con-formity of building standards is of particular importance for the construction industry. However, this can only be achieved through the correct preparation or formalization of the relevant regulations. Therefore, in this master thesis, a special mark-up language is tested for its suitability for the formalization of such rules. The so-called RASE-Syntax makes it possible to mark a normative text with a defined number of operators. This formalization process represents the first stage for translating a rule set into a machine-interpretable lan-guage. Based on the current state of development, the load-bearing capacity of RASE is ex-amined and assessed through the application of a German standard. In addition, sug-gestions for any extensions of the syntax are developed and problem areas are ex-plained. Finally, the implementation of the presented approach is further analyzed by the de-velopment of an application software.     «
