Unlocking the full utility of strategic urban sites.

Pairing blazing fast daylight calculations with an advanced optimisation engine provides GV8 with the ability to identify maximum development envelopes before the design process has even begun!

GV8 is excited to announce the launch of a pioneering new service that transforms the way development potential is identified and pursued.

In 2023, GV8 invested heavily in the development of new calculation algorithms capable of reducing the compute time for daylight predictions from minutes down to seconds. Building on this innovation, GV8 has now integrated this rapid prediction capability with a multi-objective evolutionary optimization engine, creating a ground-breaking new method for quickly identifying the full development potential of any urban site.

"Our service provides you with fully optimized 'safe to fly' development envelopes right at the start of your project. This advance knowledge gives your design team the critical information they need to begin placing outline massing on the site in a way that strikes the optimal balance between the need to maximise the utility of an urban site and the need to minimise the impact on neighbouring properties."


To showcase this new service, GV8 is offering free demonstrations throughout the summer of 2024. Design teams and developers eager to understand the height opportunities which exist across their sites are invited to schedule a free consultation using the booking facility below:

Following a short video call where we gather key information regarding the site and your development aspirations GV8 will run the project through our analysis engine to pinpoint a set of optimised development envelopes. A brief report illustrating the outline envelopes will be furnished within 24 hours of initial consultation.

Using computational methods and robust procedures GV8 predicts the levels of daylight and sunlight that will be available both within and around new developments.
