Carlson Civil Product Review

A complete civil engineering design software for surface modeling, roads/highways, site-design and a wide variety of land development projects.

Road and Site Design Made Easy

Carlson Civil provides the most robust automation and ease-of-use of any civil design solution available today, and it does dynamic updating without a single custom object. Carlson Civil’s wide selection of “power” tools enable users to increase their productivity as they create better road, site, and subdivision designs in less time.

Carlson Civil is comparable to civil design programs such as: DCA/Softdesk/Land Desktop, AutoCAD Map, Civil 3d, Eagle Point, TerraModel, GeoPak and InRoads. Some features of Carlson Civil also match up well to construction estimating software such as Paydirt, Quest and Agtek.

Carlson Civil can be purchased as a standalone module or as part of the Civil Suite which also includes Survey, Hydrology and GIS. It can run standalone with the included license of IntelliCAD or on top of a separately purchased license of full AutoCAD.

All Carlson Software purchases will be delivered by email with your new serial number and download instructions within two business days.
