Carlson Civil Suite is an integrated software bundle designed for civil engineers and surveyors, combining Carlson Survey, Carlson Civil, Carlson Hydrology, and Carlson GIS. It supports every phase of civil design projects, from site and road design to hydrology and land development. The suite runs as a standalone application with IntelliCAD or as an add-on to AutoCAD, providing robust 2D and 3D modeling, seamless CAD compatibility, and advanced data management. Its modular structure allows professionals to streamline workflows, automate complex tasks, and deliver precise, cost-effective results for both large infrastructure and smaller site projects.
