About Civil Site Design
Civil Site Design is an international civil engineering software program for road, site and stormwater design. Operating on the CAD system of your choice - AutoCAD, Civil 3D, BricsCAD - Civil Site Design integrates design and drafting in the one software environment. Civil Site Design introduces a world first with Artificial Intelligence implemented within the software to automatically build design models based on user input. Automation of intersection, cul-de-sac and roundabout design are key features of the software. There is an extensive tool set for road reconstruction, site works and stormwater. Designs done in BricsCAD Civil can be shared back to your Civil 3D users where corporate styles can be applied. A lower cost, no risk option.

Plex-Earth
In 2009, our founder and CEO Lambros Kaliakatsos, a civil engineer and software developer, saw firsthand how much rework designing without real-world data costs. So he built Plex-Earth: the first cloud-based SaaS tool in the CAD market, connecting AutoCAD directly to Google Earth. It became the original AutoCAD + Google Earth plugin, and it changed how engineers work every day.
Today, Plex-Earth brings satellite and historical imagery, terrain, and two-way KML functionality into your drawing. From basemap providers like Google Maps, Google Elevations, Azure, and OpenStreetMap, and custom WMS/WMTS map connections, to premium providers such as Nearmap, Vexcel, Hexagon, Airbus, and Vantor, plus terrain data from GeoTIFFs and premium DTM/DSM sources, Plex-Earth is trusted by thousands of engineers across civil, solar, telecom, infrastructure, and beyond to design faster, smarter, and with real-world accuracy.
Compatible with AutoCAD 2020–2027, Civil 3D, Map 3D & BricsCAD.
