Spatial Analysis and Modelling

Spatial analysis answers questions about where: which sites are suitable, what lies within reach, how areas compare. We build transparent models whose assumptions you can see and adjust.

Typical uses include site selection, accessibility studies and comparing areas against agreed criteria.

What the service involves

  • Suitability analysis
  • Network analysis
  • Terrain analysis
  • Spatial statistics
  • Multi-criteria decision analysis
  • Site selection

How we deliver

  1. Understand the challenge. Agree the question, the area and the decision the work must support.
  2. Acquire and prepare data. Source, clean and document each dataset, including date, resolution and licence.
  3. Analyse and model. Apply a transparent method and check accuracy where reference data exists.
  4. Develop geospatial solutions. Build the maps, models, scripts or web applications the work requires.
  5. Deliver actionable insights. Hand over outputs and a plain-language summary of findings and limitations.
