Civil Designer Reviews & Product Details

I was honestly blown away by how much Civil Designer can do. From handling layerworks, alignments, drainage, and terrain data, to checking speed limits and design specs, it takes care of the whole road design process. What I really appreciated was how it even calculates cut and fill volumes for you, and lets you see your design in 2D or 3D with road markings and signs. It makes the project feel real. Tasks that would have taken me days by hand were finished in just a few hours. The help guides are clear too, which made learning the software much easier. What I like most is how everything you need is built into one program, instead of jumping between different tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a beginner, the learning curve is very steep. So proper training is needed, and thank you to the civil designer team who gave classes and notes on how to use the software. The software is quite demanding on the computer, but this is from a student's perspective. I am confident that there will be no issues once you have adequate computers in the industry. Overall, there was nothing that I disliked about Civil Designer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I liked most about Civil Designer as a first-time user was its integration across modules — being able to move easily between road design, drainage, earthworks, and hydraulics without switching environments. The cross-sectioning and stormwater tools were particularly helpful for the project I worked on, and the fly-throughs and visuals added an immersive touch that I really liked. I also appreciated the logical workflow, clean interface, and helpful support features, all of which made the overall experience feel polished and professional.

There are a few limitations — for instance, the undo (Ctrl + Z) function didn't always behave consistently across modules, sometimes not working, or undoing more steps than intended. Another aspect that took some getting used to was the sheet file creation process, which felt a little less intuitive at first but became clearer after spending some time exploring it.

Civil Designer is a practical and easy to use civil infrastructure software that combines roads, earthworks, stormwater, wastewater, and potable water design in a single model. It brings together terrain modeling, alignment and corridor tools, pipe network analysis and automated quantities, so you spend less time exporting and fixing formats.

No cross platform support and no multi user versioning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how everything for road design is in one program. Once you get used to it, it’s easy to move between the terrain, alignment, and layer works without having to switch software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, it was quite hard to learn how to use all the tools and menus. The layout can feel overwhelming for beginners, but after some practice it gets much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

2. Ability to handle large image tiles and elevation models

3. The software is constantly being updated with new and useful features - Knowledge Base listens to their users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The stormwater, water and sewer modules can be improved. I would like to have more flexibility with importing/entering data into module databases for asset management purposes (condition ratings, structure images etc).

Sheetfile creation and setting of information to be displayed is not simple Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed of software, design flexibility, accuracy and one software package for infrastructure needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some parts of the software are not the most user friendly and takes years to master such as sheet files but once mastered it's powerful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is all integrated into one package from one software developer. You can see all the design entities in one design screen. I do not have to go and buy extra software to use it like Civils 3D. The developers of the software are always friendly and available to assist with queries. To get quantities for your design is just a click away. It can handle large digital terrain files with ease. The output that is compiled by Civil Designer is complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Non except for creating large drawing files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
