DBF assists planning and design teams to create solutions that allow for instant analytical insights for real decisions using AI and spatial analytics. Our platform enables you to work faster and earlier in the process with fewer handoffs.

Turn requirements into scenario sets and feasibilityoutputs that are consistent, traceable, and comparable.

Bring multi-source spatial data into a single workflow to validate project performance.

Validate earlier, then hand off cleaner inputs to downstream modeling and delivery.

Sustainable design for everyone
Connect to your favorite software
Our category-leading technology is the DBF Engine - a powerful enterprise platform featuring advanced AI algorithms and data integrations to enable generative design and spatial analytics.
Generate and validate city-scale growth scenarios, land use distributions, and infrastructure requirements before committing to masterplan briefs.
Generative design for Mission Critical buildings, facility planning, and health/datacenter infrastructure to streamline land use and accelerate delivery.
DBF integrates urban data with sustainability metrics and tools like the Urbn Index to empower city planners. Through Scenario Planning and alignment with Quality of Life programs, we help shape Lifetime projects that deliver more livable, resilient urban environments.
Lower capital + operating cost
Reduction in early-stage design time across feasibility, massing, and programme validation workflows.
Faster design cycles
Faster time-to-feasibility with AI-generated scenarios versus traditional manual massing workflows.
BIM production automation
Of design coordination tasks automated through integrated spatial analytics and BIM-ready exports.

Dr. sc. ETH · Managing Director, MATSim Association
15+ years as core developer of MATSim — the world's leading agent-based transport simulation framework. Pioneer of the first agent-based transport simulation of Singapore.
We provide extensive project contextual data, encompassing maps, satellite imagery, 3D terrain models, building information, road networks, land use, social media data, and local weather station-based wind and solar data. Additionally, we offer flexibility to integrate proprietary data into your solution, either on-premises or via a hybrid configuration, seamlessly integrated with our spatial analytics.
DBF implements stringent data security protocols, including encryption, access controls, and regular audits, to ensure your data remains confidential and is not reused. For more information, please feel free to reach out.
Our AI technology is customized for various building types based on client specifications, ensuring tailored and optimized designs. We use a two-step design generation process:
This approach guarantees that our clients receive innovative and precisely optimized building designs.
Access to the product developed by DBF is typically granted midway through the first phase, approximately six weeks after the start date.
DBF integrates seamlessly with BIM software via our proprietary middleware, DBF Hub. This allows you to stream projects directly from the DBF online platform to your desktop BIM software or Enterprise Cloud. DBF Hub supports Revit, Archicad and ESRI connections.
