Project-based model setup, registration and agreed technical analysis for Daylight, Sunlight, SHOG and Rights of Light workflows.
Home/Services/MBS Model Preparation & Technical Analysis
Analysis workflow
Coordinated geometry is reviewed, prepared and registered within MBS before the agreed technical analysis and project outputs are produced.
CAD Services Studio supports complete technical workflows from model review and MBS registration through to Daylight, Sunlight, SHOG and agreed Rights of Light analysis. The service can form part of a direct project instruction or provide additional technical capacity to a consultancy team.
This is project-delivery support using MBS. It is not software customer support, licensing assistance or general MBS training, and it does not imply affiliation with the software provider.

Daylight, Sunlight & SHOG
A survey-based model coordinated, reviewed and registered within MBS before environmental analysis and supporting technical outputs were prepared.
No. This is a project-delivery service covering model preparation, registration and agreed technical analysis within an MBS workflow. It is not software customer support, licensing assistance or general training, and CAD Services Studio is not affiliated with the software provider.
Can CAD Services Studio work with an existing model?
Yes. Existing third-party geometry or MBS project information can be reviewed and prepared for an agreed technical workflow, subject to an initial scope and source-information check.
What technical analysis can be included?
Agreed project scopes may include Daylight, Sunlight, Sunlight Hours on Ground and Rights of Light technical analysis, together with appropriate result schedules, images and supporting outputs.
Can this service be provided confidentially to another consultancy?
Yes. Confidential subcontract, white-label and additional technical capacity can be provided to consultancy and project teams by agreement.
Does the service include a formal planning or legal report?
Complete client-facing planning or legal reports are not advertised as a standard deliverable. The service provides models, technical analysis, result schedules, images, observations and agreed supporting project outputs.
Who provides the final planning or legal advice?
Planning judgement, legal advice, legal entitlement, valuation and negotiation remain with the appropriately appointed professional advisers. CAD Services Studio provides the agreed technical modelling and analytical support.
