A fit study is a quick translation of constraints, building area and by-laws into a physical 3D representation options. Basic elevations and colour impressions can be added as well.
SHADOW STUDIES
Using BIM modelling and municipal data, shadows of proposed development can be illustrated to address issues of neighbourhood and authorities for various seasons of the year. In the same exercise sun capture on the development site can be understood and maximized.
Simulating actual views out from windows of proposed buildings & units help with marking. Vista studies may be required for approvals in some communities, such as the Battery in Newfoundland, Canada.
