Abstract
Building regulations are written in human language, are subject to human interpretation and enforcement, and are frequently governed by local governments in the construction sector. These regulations lack clear and unambiguous language because of things like the ambiguity of the terms in the building regulation provisions, the flexibility with which they may be used, and the absence of definitions in the regulation clauses. Computerized building regulation representation studies are carried out by professionals in the construction sector to prevent this complication. Building regulations are being translated into several official languages and incorporated into current systems thanks to the efforts of specialists. The reasoning selects and applies numerous types of facts and information with varying degrees of precision. For many years, there have been several efforts made to improve the building regulations domain knowledge representations. The languages and techniques used in the domain knowledge representations of the building regulations were examined in this study. They were categorized under the following headings: Human Language, Markup Languages, Formal Languages, Semantic Web Languages, Artificial Intelligence Methods, and Hybrid Methods. The study's languages and methods were discussed in great depth.
