As you talk to the coach builders, ask them what they do about weight and balance when they design a coach. I have never used any of the CAD software, but it would make sense to me that there be a feature in CAD software to automatically do the weight and balance as the various components are added to the design. You'd probably have to build a library of components and their weights (which is half of W&B), and of course the CAD system knows were you drop everything.
