What it does
For routes surveyed by chainage
For sites, tanks and layouts surveyed as points
See it in the program
Each tab plays a job through on the CivilSurvey Expert 2027 screens, in the sample projects that come with it.
Review and adjust every cross section. Every chainage with its review mark. Check the section, then Mark reviewed, next.
From the level book to cross and long sections. Type the level book as it was booked: B.S., I.S., F.S. and remarks, change points included.
Design the typical section once, place it on every chainage. The Template Designer: pick the type of work, or draw a custom template point by point.
Sections from total station or GNSS points. Add a From coordinates route for the points of a total station or GNSS survey.
Contours, site cut and fill and tank capacity. Import the survey points, from a total station or DGPS, with their codes.
Print the whole route, the way the office wants it. Pick the chainages: a range, all, reviewed, changed or still to review.
The abstract of quantities, ready to submit. Cutting and embankment with gross, factor and net, and the borrow needed. The Checks card lists sections not reviewed yet.
Projects
Sample projects for a canal, a highway, a flood bund, a railway and a site levelling and contour survey come with it to learn from.
Bed cut and both banks as separate layers, each with its own quantity.
Canals →Subgrade, GSB, WMM and bituminous courses as layers from one template, placed by gradient.
Roads →Fill volumes with side slopes and toe points worked out at every chainage.
Bunds and embankments →Subgrade, blanket and ballast as layers from one template, along long L-sections.
Railways →Trench sections drawn as templates, with quantities per chainage.
Drains and sewers →Cut and fill to level a plot, flat or with a fall, and the level where they balance.
Site levelling →Capacity and water spread up to the full tank level, and the desilting quantity.
Tanks and ponds →Contour plans from DGPS or total station points, with breaklines and your title block.
Layout contour plans →Sample outputs

Licensing
One licence per computer, with no per-project fees. No AutoCAD licence and no obligations: the CAD is built in. Ask for current rates for single seats, firms and training institutes.

Talk to us directly
No. Sections are drawn, edited and printed in the built-in CAD, so there is no AutoCAD licence to buy and no subscription to keep up. Export to DWG or DXF only when a client or drafting team asks for drawings.
Yes, from Excel (.xlsx or .xls). CivilSurvey recognises columns by their headings (Ch, Offset, BS, IS, FS, RL, Remark and common variations), lets you map any it misses, and keeps a copy of your project before importing. Total station and GNSS point files (CSV, TXT, XYZ, PTS, ASC) come in too.
A field book worked backwards from levels: CivilSurvey takes the levels of a layer, including toe points, and works out the B.S., I.S. and F.S. readings from your bench mark, for setting out that layer on site. Change points are added wherever a reading would go outside the staff, and the arithmetic check runs at the end.
Send the .CSF file. Everything is inside it: field books, designs, templates, edited sections, settings and your own sheets. Files from older versions are upgraded when opened, after a backup is made.
A one-time payment per computer covers the licence and unlimited section generation. There is no subscription.
