Currently, the project documentation is submitted for examination in the form of
electronic documents that normally contain text and graphic information. Standards, which
requirements the project documentation should meet during the examination, are published in
electronic, but not machine-readable form. In recent years, specialists of the construction
industry of Russian Federation fully realize the need of automated examination, which can be
available if both sides of the process - design results and relevant standards - are presented in
machine-readable form. This article reveals the results of existing approaches analysis how to
transfer into the machine-readable form the regulation requirements for the building
information model as a form of design results presentation for automated examination. The
most promising of them is the language of knowledge representation based on the rules. There
are criteria for machine readable presentation established and extended. The RuleML language
is suggested as a solution, since it meets the criteria mentioned and is fixed in the regulation
standards for information modeling. The RuleML based method of machine-readable
requirements is acquired, which may in future be implemented within the transition to
automated examination in the scope of Russia Federation and as a unified approach on the
international level
