Carlson Civil Suite
Overview
Carlson Software’s Civil Suite is a powerful software bundle made up of: Carlson Survey, Carlson Civil, Carlson Hydrology, and Carlson GIS. These four civil-related modular programs combined, with full LandXML support, allow you to create all of your deliverables at a fraction of the long-term costs compared to other software alternatives.
Civil Design, 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 Takeoff
Estimate Volumes and Prepare Jobs for Construction
Carlson Takeoff is available in two configurations: Takeoff OEM and Takeoff Suite. Takeoff OEM includes an AutoCAD® engine built-in and has all of the same ingredients as the Takeoff Suite, plus the addition of the Carlson Point Cloud program for working with point cloud files from Lidar or photogrammetry sources. The Takeoff Suite works on AutoCAD® sold separately, or with IntelliCAD® built-in. The Takeoff Suite is comprised of the modules Carlson CADnet, Carlson Trench, and Carlson GeoTech combined with Carlson Construction. All are fully integrated with Carlson Civil and Hydrology to meet the variety of customers’ needs.
CAD Advantage
Carlson Takeoff is the only estimating software built on either the AutoCAD or IntelliCAD engine. Working in the DWG environment natively gives Carlson Takeoff users a distinct “CAD Advantage” when estimating from an Engineer’s electronic files.
