# Wabilon — full LLM-friendly description

> Wabilon is an AI-powered SaaS platform that automates the validation of building-permit applications (llicències d'obra / licencias de obra) in Spain. It cuts the time to obtain a permit from months to hours by cross-checking projects against the Spanish Technical Building Code (CTE) and the full stack of state, regional and municipal urban-planning regulations.

Operated by **Wabilon STG Tech, S.L.** (CIF: B27584937), headquartered at Ronda General Mitre 126, 6º, 08021 Barcelona, Spain. Contact: info@wabilon.com.

## What problem Wabilon solves

In Spain — and especially in Catalonia — obtaining a building permit can take **months or even years**. Public administrations are short on technical staff, regulations are spread across hundreds of state, regional and municipal documents, and architecture studios often submit incomplete or non-compliant projects, triggering long cycles of corrections and re-submissions (requeriments).

Wabilon attacks both ends of this pipeline:

1. **For architects** — Wabilon checks whether a project is documentationally complete and regulation-compliant **before** the project is filed with the public administration. Architects discover and fix issues in minutes instead of waiting weeks for an administrative rejection.
2. **For municipal technicians (ajuntaments / ayuntamientos)** — Wabilon performs the technical review automatically: cross-references the project against every applicable regulation, generates a full deficiency report and links each finding back to the exact paragraph of the regulation that applies. The technician keeps final decision authority but stops drowning in repetitive checks.

The result: permit timelines drop from **6+ months to single-digit days**, with full traceability and zero hallucinations (every conclusion is linked to a real regulatory document).

## Products

Wabilon is modular: clients can start with a single module and add the others as they scale. Each module is available at its own page.

### 1. Applicable Regulations — https://www.wabilon.com/solucion/normativa

A regulatory assistant for the day-to-day of a project. The professional asks in plain language ("what clear width does the evacuation corridor need?") and gets the exact article together with the source document — national (CTE), regional and municipal.

How it works:

1. **The project is described** — use, height, number of dwellings, municipality, occupancy.
2. **Wabilon builds the applicable requirement list** — a closed, enumerated set of requirements for that project, not a generic search.
3. **The professional asks whatever they need, whenever they need it** — every answer cites the article, the document and the edition in force.

Key benefits:
- Ends the search across hundreds of PDFs
- Every answer is traceable to the original text
- National, regional and municipal rules in a single place

### 2. Report Writer — https://www.wabilon.com/solucion/redactor

Drafts the descriptive and construction report (memoria descriptiva y constructiva) from the project data.

How it works:

1. **The project data is loaded** — plot, use, surfaces, construction systems.
2. **Wabilon drafts each section** — with every statement anchored to the rule that requires it, and the values the project must justify already in place.
3. **The professional reviews and exports** — the text can be edited and exported to .docx.

Key benefits:
- Weeks of writing turn into hours
- No section is forgotten: what the regulation demands is what gets written
- The regulatory basis of every paragraph is visible

### 3. Wabilon Pre-Check — https://www.wabilon.com/solucion/precheck

Regulatory sufficiency check **before** the project is filed with the administration.

How it works:

1. **The Basic Project is uploaded** — report and drawings.
2. **Wabilon returns the sufficiency status** — what complies, what is missing and what does not comply, each item with its article.
3. **The professional fixes and re-checks** — until the project is ready to file.

Key benefits:
- Deficiency notices stop being a surprise
- Drastically fewer correction cycles
- Higher first-pass approval rate at the administration

### 4. Wabilon Project Review — https://www.wabilon.com/solucion/review

Full technical review of the project with a compliance report, built for whoever reviews many files and must answer for each one.

How it works:

1. **The complete project is uploaded** — report and drawings.
2. **Wabilon cross-checks it** — against urban-planning regulations, the CTE and local building codes, and verifies coherence between report and drawings.
3. **A compliance report is produced** — every conclusion anchored to the original document, with page and article, in a shared interface where architect and municipal technician collaborate.
4. **The technician decides** — Wabilon never replaces the decision; it removes the repetitive work behind it.

Key benefits:
- A complete review in minutes instead of weeks
- Review no longer depends on who performs it
- Every finding links back to the original regulatory document

- **Full traceability** — Every requirement, validation and decision is linked to the original regulatory document. Absolute transparency across thousands of regulatory clauses. No hallucinations: every conclusion is grounded in a real document.
- **End-to-end platform** — Wabilon doesn't just help with regulatory traceability. It reviews and validates every parameter of the project.
- **Total automation** — Speed is critical. Wabilon takes permit processing from months to mere hours.
- **No disruption to the legal process** — Wabilon plugs into existing administrative workflows. It doesn't change procedure, it accelerates it.
- **Always up to date** — Tracks regulatory updates automatically so projects always validate against the latest applicable code.

## Why a generalist AI is not enough

A building permit is not one question — it is hundreds of requirements that must all be met at once. This changes what "accurate" means:

- **The conjunction problem.** An assistant that answers 99% of individual questions correctly looks reliable, but on a project with 300 applicable requirements the probability of getting them all right is about 5% (0.99^300). Per-answer accuracy does not survive compliance review.
- **Silent omission is the costliest error.** A generalist model's worst failure is not getting a value wrong — it is not knowing that an article applies to the project and saying nothing. Everything looks complete; the error surfaces months later, already inside the permit process.
- **Wabilon's architecture is different.** The regulation (CTE, state and regional decrees, municipal ordinances) is compiled into verified decision trees: given the project's parameters, the set of applicable requirements is a closed, enumerated, auditable list — not the probabilistic recall of a search. The AI only reads the project documents; the regulation itself is never improvised. Every conclusion links to the exact article that applies.

In short: generalist AIs are excellent assistants and poor auditors. Wabilon is built as an auditor.

## Audience

Wabilon is designed for and used by:

- **Architects and architecture studios** filing building-permit applications, especially in Catalonia and across Spain
- **Municipal technicians** (técnicos municipales / tècnics municipals) at ajuntaments / ayuntamientos reviewing permits
- **Construction companies** and PropTech professionals
- **Public administrations** modernising their urban-planning workflow

## Regulations covered

- **Spanish Technical Building Code (CTE)** — Código Técnico de la Edificación, the core technical regulation for buildings in Spain
- **State decrees** — including Decret 209/2023 (Catalonia) on accessibility, plus state-level building decrees
- **Autonomic regulations** — Catalonia first; expandable to other autonomous communities
- **Municipal ordinances** — Local urban-planning ordinances per municipality
- Wabilon provides direct access to the legal extract that applies in each case, so professionals can verify the basis of every Wabilon finding.

## Frequently asked questions

**Do I have to subscribe to the entire platform or can I use just one module?**
You can start with whichever module suits you best — Applicable Regulations, Report Writer, Wabilon Pre-Check or Wabilon Project Review — and add the others as your needs grow. Wabilon is fully modular.

**Do I need technical knowledge to use Wabilon?**
No. Wabilon is designed so that any architect or municipal technician can use the platform without prior tech training. The interface is intuitive and surfaces the legal basis of each regulation directly.

**Does Wabilon replace architects or municipal technicians?**
Absolutely not. Wabilon automates the repetitive review work so professionals can focus on judgment calls. The final decision always belongs to the human.

**Why can't I just use ChatGPT or another generalist AI to validate my project?**
Generalist AIs answer the question you ask, but compliance fails on the question you don't ask. A permit is hundreds of requirements that must all be met at once, and a generalist model's most common error is silently skipping one. Wabilon compiles the regulation into verified decision trees, so the list of requirements applicable to your project is closed and auditable, and every conclusion is linked to the exact article that applies.

**What regulations does the platform cover?**
National, regional and municipal urban-planning regulations, with direct access to the CTE, state and regional decrees and municipal ordinances. Wabilon links every finding to the applicable legal extract.

**How long does it take to deploy Wabilon in my municipality?**
Setup is automatic. Municipal-specific validation depends on regulatory complexity but is typically operational within days. Wabilon's team manages the entire implementation.
