Book your Roads Strings training course here >> GIBB IIG Standardizes on Civil Designer after assessing all other software  Our Civil Designer 2014 version was tested against all other competitor software packages in an intense showdown for GIBB. We not only completed the tests that GIBB requested, but also decided to show GIBB what our software is really capable of.
We were able to demonstrate industry leading design functionality that they did not realise was possible within the scope of a civil infrastructure design software package.
Contact us to arrange for us to show you what the latest version can do >> DTI grant for BEE companies The Department of Trade and Industry will soon be open to receive grant applications towards software costs. The DTI offers up to 90% off the cost of your software. This is offered to all enterprises that are majority black-owned in South Africa. The maximum grant amount you can qualify for is a R100 000 towards the procurement of CIVIL DESIGNER and AllyCAD. Additionally you can get a grant for training on the software for up to R15 000 (ex vat) per individual. While the process can take between 2 weeks up to 4 months, depending on numerous factors, we are able to lease the software out to you in that period so you can get immediate access at little cost. To qualify for this incredible opportunity your company will need to meet various requirements. Please contact us for information about applying for the grant >> Feature Focus DESIGN CENTRE - Super Fast import of 4 million DTM points per minute Civil Designer will easily handle 95 million points and more and can import 4 million DTM points in under a minute. The software can further triangulate 6 million points in under a minute. There are very few design systems that can come close to matching this speed! In addition we have an intelligent LIDAR import function that will extract a useable DTM from millions of LIDAR points. 
SURVEY & TERRAIN - Cut / Fill Terrace Optimization to Minimize Costs The volume of a terrace can be calculated in seconds. Cut and fill volumes can be balanced with the optimization function to the percentage that you require. You can even manipulate an individual terrace on a multi-terrace site. Design more cost effectively by calculating the volumes and optimizing costs before projects are built.
