How much does Daylight Modelling cost?

Short answer

The cost of daylight modelling depends on project size and complexity, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousands dollars.

Full answer

Daylight Modelling costs vary depending on the number of spaces assessed, the level of detail required and the chosen rating scheme. Small projects with simple layouts may fall toward the lower end, while large commercial buildings with multiple floor plates may require advanced simulations at higher costs. The investment typically pays off by helping to avoid redesigns and ensuring compliance with council or Green Star requirements.

Why this matters

Budgeting for daylight modelling early prevents delays and unexpected costs later in the project lifecycle.
