Built form testing

We combine our planning and design expertise with precision terrain and built-form models that are generated using the most current and accurate air / ground imaging technologies and APIs, and analysed through the most advanced procedural 3D modelling software. 

Our Procedural Modelling workflows allow our clients to utilise 3D assets throughout all stages of their projects, from initial design, analysis and testing, to effortlessly communicating the final outcome.

This technology allows us to contextually investigate and facilitate:

  • Potential Built form options

  • Related GFAs / FARs / FAUs / NLAs

  • Statutory overshadowing / sight lines from street view

  • Terrain analysis including floodmapping

  • Contextual height mapping

  • Integrating zoning and overlay fields

  • Community Engagement

With experience in procedural modelling, urban design and planning, our integrated knowledge base provides our clients with focused responses to facilitate consultation and decision making with all relevant stakeholders.
