AI for Site Civil Design

Site civil design encompasses grading, drainage, paving, utilities, and erosion control — the infrastructure that supports the building and connects it to the surrounding road and utility networks. AI assists with the grading optimization, stormwater calculations, and utility coordination that site design requires.

The grading optimization balances multiple objectives: achieving positive drainage away from the building, meeting ADA slope requirements for accessible routes, minimizing earthwork quantities (cut-fill balance), and satisfying stormwater detention volume requirements. AI generates grading plans that satisfy all of these constraints, which is a computationally complex optimization that manual design approaches handle through iterative trial-and-error.
