Why DBF Mass?

Trusted. Precise. Fast.

DBF Mass is designed to turn the most uncertain stage of building design into the most informed one.

Architects and developers have long been limited by workflows that are slow, manual, and prone to error. Weeks spent on feasibility studies. Endless spreadsheets for area calculations. Limited room for iteration.

Weeks spent on feasibility studies.
Endless spreadsheets for area calculations.
Limited room for iteration.

DBF Mass was born from the challenges architects face daily: weeks spent on feasibility work, manual area calculations prone to error, difficulty exploring design alternatives, and lack of client-ready visualizations.


DBF Mass changes that.

Through real-time 3D modeling, instant analytics, and automated documentation, it transforms feasibility work into a continuous, data-driven process.

Feasibility studies in hours, not days.
Automated calculations for GFA, program mix, and site coverage.
Five to ten design options in the time it once took to make one.
Ready-to-present visualizations, no post-production needed.

What Is DBF Mass?

Smart Massing for Smarter Buildings

DBF Mass helps teams move faster, test better, and make decisions grounded in evidence.Using 3D geospatial visualization and parametric controls, it enables designers to explore alternatives, validate assumptions, and optimize designs with precision, all in real time.

What DBF Mass Offers

1/

3D Geospatial Environment
An interactive 3D canvas built on geospatial data. Import GeoJSON, DXF, or SHP boundaries. Visualize the site in its full urban context, instantly.

2/

Intuitive Footprint Drawing
Draw directly on the map with precision tools—orthogonal guides, dimensions, and grid snapping for exact control.

3/

Parametric Vertical Massing
Adjust podium heights, tower setbacks, and basement levels with live parametric sliders. See every change reflected in real time.

4/

Program Mix Configuration
Define and adjust residential, commercial, and retail programs. Assign floors, set ratios, and monitor automatic area distribution.

5/

Real-Time Area Calculations
Automatic computation of GFA, FAR, and coverage ratios. Live program-specific analytics keep data aligned with every design move.

6/

Export & BIM Integration
Export directly to Revit, AutoCAD (DXF), Excel, or 3D formats. Maintain continuity across design, documentation, and delivery.c

Solving Real Problems in Building Design

Rapid Feasibility Studies

Architecture firms use DBF Mass to turn around feasibility packages in under an hour. Evaluate sites, respond to client requests, and test more options, with fewer resources.

"DBF Mass reduced our unpaid feasibility work by 60%. We can now test multiple design options and present professional visualizations to clients immediately."

Mixed-Use Development Planning

Developers use DBF Mass to test and compare scenarios, retail podiums, residential towers, mixed-use combinations, while tracking live GFA and program ratios.

"The real-time area calculations eliminated hours of manual spreadsheet work. We can now explore alternatives confidently knowing the numbers are always current."
