Stop copying data between tools all day.
CivilAI plugs into ETABS, STAAD, AutoCAD and Excel — and automates the manual donkey-work between them. Load combos, BBS, drawing prep, schedule export, report writing. Less data entry. More engineering.
Exported 142 columns + 8 load-combo results from your ETABS model into your firm's deflection-check sheet. Flagged 6 columns over DCR limit. Re-imported revised sections back into ETABS — all in 47 seconds.
Engineers don't hate engineering.
They hate everything around it.
Indian civil engineers spend 60-70% of their day on copy-paste, formatting, and re-running the same checks. We give that time back.
ETABS → Excel → ETABS, all day.
Story drifts, mass schedules, DCRs, load combo results — engineers spend hours copy-pasting between ETABS and Excel for every project. The data doesn't change. The pain does.
AutoCAD repetition that should not exist.
Column callouts on 40 sheets. BBS plots. Title block updates. Revision clouds. Sheet renumbering. The same actions, every project, every day, by hand.
Excel sheets nobody trusts.
BoQ rollups. Deflection check sheets. Design summary tables. They live or die based on whether someone remembered to refresh the right cell. We make them update themselves.
Reports written from scratch — every project.
Design basis reports. Structural analysis summaries. Compliance check documents. Same format, different numbers. Junior engineers spend a week per project on this.
CivilAI works for your role — not a generic chatbot.
Pick your role. The workflow, the language and the outputs change to match what you actually do.
Design a full G+4 building in one afternoon.
- Upload sketch or AutoCAD plan — get slab, beam, column designs in minutes.
- Every output checked against IS 456, IS 875, IS 1893, IS 800.
- BBS (bar bending schedule) and structural drawings ready to print.
Plug in. Pick a workflow. Save your day.
CivilAI doesn't replace your tools — it sits between them and does the donkey-work. Your ETABS, your AutoCAD, your Excel templates stay exactly as they are.
Point CivilAI at your existing ETABS / STAAD / AutoCAD / Excel files. Nothing leaves your machine or your firm's cloud.
ETABS-to-Excel round-trip. AutoCAD column callouts. BBS generation. Design report writer. STAAD reaction export. Or ask us to build a custom one for your firm.
Hours of manual work in seconds. Auto-meshes ETABS models. Auto-tags AutoCAD sheets. Auto-formats Excel deflection sheets. Auto-writes design reports.
You stay the engineer of record. CivilAI never sends anything to the client without your stamp. Audit log shows every input, every output, every diff.
Revised sections pushed back into ETABS. Updated drawings back into AutoCAD. Refreshed Excel sheets dropped in OneDrive. Everything where you expect it.
Real workflows. Real time saved. Pick yours.
Each card is a real workflow we have already shipped to Indian engineering firms. If yours isn't here, send it — most can be built in 2-3 weeks.
ETABS → Excel → ETABS, round-trip.
Pull story drifts, mass schedules, DCRs and member forces from ETABS into your firm's Excel templates. Engineers tweak the sections in Excel. CivilAI pushes the changes back into the ETABS model — auto-meshed, auto-named, ready to re-run.
AutoCAD column callouts
Auto-place column tags, dimension chains, and section markers across all sheets. 40 sheets in 30 seconds.
BBS in one click
From RC drawings or ETABS designed sections — cutting length, bend angles, bar marks. DWG + Excel.
Design report writer
Design basis report drafted from your ETABS output — your firm's template, your phrasing, IS code references inline.
Drawing revision compare
Diff S-201 Rev 2 vs Rev 3 in plain English. 'Beam B4 camber changed 6mm. Affected: PO 2031-A.'
STAAD reaction export
Foundation reactions, member forces, support data — auto-extracted into foundation design templates.
Sheet set + title block updater
Project info changes? Update one source. CivilAI pushes to every title block across every sheet.

Full speed
Your team is designing 5-10x more projects per month. You take on bigger jobs without hiring more engineers.
Indian engineers and builders. Honest words.
Names are real. Project details kept private at request. Want a reference call? We can connect you with any of them.
I designed three G+3 buildings last week. Earlier this was one month of work. My consultancy is now taking on 5x more projects.
I am a small builder in Surat. I used to wait 2-3 weeks for structural drawings. With CivilAI I got them in one day.
Bahut acchi cheez hai. The voice feature in Hindi works very well — my site engineers are not scared of using it.
Steel cost on my last 4 projects dropped by 14%. CivilAI's design is leaner than what we used to do — but the IS code references convinced our checker engineer.
I run a 5-person engineering firm. We used to lose bids because we couldn't quote fast enough. Now we win bids on speed.
Drawings came in the exact RERA format Maharashtra wants. I submitted same week. Approval came in 18 days instead of 3 months.

No. CivilAI replaces the manual work your engineers hate — the ETABS↔Excel copying, the AutoCAD repetition, the report formatting. Your engineers still do the engineering, the judgement and the stamp. They just stop wasting 60% of their week on data entry.
