THE INDEPENDENT CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKBENCH

Big ideas.
Solid ground.
Your forge.

Turn site data into design intent. A focused Windows workbench for survey, terrain, roads and grading—with your project files right where they belong. On your machine.

⌁

Built around engineering.

Survey, terrain and design tools connected by a common project foundation.

↳

Local by design.

Work in a native Windows app. Keep project files on your machine and work offline.

◎

Know what changed.

A foundation for saved design intent, source dependencies and repeatable results.

ONE PROJECT. A CONNECTED PROCESS.

Follow the design.
Keep the context.

A workbench being built around the way civil projects move from information to decisions.

01 / UNDERSTAND

Start with the site.

Bring in survey points, inspect your source data and establish the terrain beneath your design.

SURVEY & TERRAIN
02 / DEVELOP

Give intent a shape.

Develop alignments, profiles, corridor definitions and grading with explicit design controls.

ROADS & GRADING
03 / REFINE

Make the next decision.

Inspect geometry, source dependencies and quantities as the design takes shape.

REVIEW & ITERATE

Civzu is in active development. Feature availability varies between the desktop preview, native tools and prototype screens.

OFFLINE FIRST. ALWAYS IN CONTEXT.

Your work belongs
where you do.

At the desk or away from a reliable connection, your core workspace stays on your computer. Civzu’s project foundation stores design data locally.

  • Native Windows desktop workspace
  • Local project storage
  • Demo workspaces isolated from project data
ON THE ROADMAP / MCP INTEGRATION

Your expertise.
An AI helping hand.

We’re planning a local MCP server to connect compatible AI assistants to Civzu. The aim: less repetitive setup, easier project inspection and engineering commands you can review.

  • Ask about project data and design dependencies
  • Query engineering geometry through supported tools
  • Review proposed changes before applying them

Planned feature. Not included in today’s download. Client compatibility, permissions and commercial plan availability are still to be finalized.

WORKFLOW CONCEPT · NOT A LIVE ASSISTANT

YOU COULD ASK

“What changed in this project, and which results need rebuilding?”

  1. Read the selected project and its revision.
  2. Inspect source dependencies and result states.
  3. Return a review with the affected objects.

MAKE YOUR FIRST MOVE

A real workflow.
A practice site of your own.

Start with an original 81-point synthetic survey. No client files, no sign-up—just a small site to explore in the live workbench.

Start your first project
  1. 01 / Create a separate project.
    Give the practice data its own local project file.
  2. 02 / Import the sample survey.
    Inspect, stage and commit 81 points in local metres.
  3. 03 / Explore the ground.
    Select points, inspect properties and try the live terrain tools.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Is Civzu a browser app?

The engineering workbench runs locally on Windows. This website introduces the product and provides the desktop download.

Can I use it offline?

The core desktop workflow and local project files are designed for offline use. You need a connection to download the preview. The package includes its .NET runtime.

Is this ready for production work?

Not yet. This is a development preview. Features, engineering validation and interface refinement are still in progress. It is intended for evaluation, not final construction or regulatory deliverables.

Are the screenshots real?

Yes. They are captures of Civzu’s visual prototype, showing independently generated demonstration scenes. They are not screenshots of validated engineering results. The current build may look different as the interface develops.

What does it cost?

Civzu is a commercial product. Proposed launch pricing is R990/month for Pro and R2,490/month for Studio with three named users. Annual plans cost the equivalent of ten monthly payments. Paid plans are not on sale yet; the current download is an evaluation preview. See Pricing for scope and launch details.

Does it support Mac or Linux?

This preview package is for Windows x64. Downloads for other operating systems are not currently offered.
