Civil engineering design software are specialized computer programs that enable users to create, analyze, and optimize infrastructure planning. Civil engineering design solutions help draft complex [3D designs](https://www.g2.com/categories/3d-design) of municipal buildings and structures. These tools include functionality for railway modeling, road and highway design, and mapping—essentially assisting city infrastructure planning. These tools have the functionality to help in every stage of the design and construction process, including drafting, designing, visualizing, analyzing, and more.

Professionals across industries widely use civil engineering design software for project planning, determining costs, resourcing, and scheduling. Although they are intended for structural engineers, the [best civil engineering design software](https://learn.g2.com/best-civil-engineering-design-software) can be utilized by engineers in nearly every subset of the field. If they lack the specific functionality, these software solutions can typically integrate with [general-purpose CAD software](https://www.g2.com/categories/general-purpose-cad) and [3D modeling software](https://www.g2.com/categories/3d-modeling). These features facilitate efficiency, accuracy, and the overall success of civil engineering projects. The tools also help streamline workflows, make informed decisions, and deliver high-quality infrastructure solutions.

To qualify for inclusion in the Civil Engineering Design category, a product must:

- Provide users with the ability to modify 3D primitives
- Offer basic drawing tools like lines, circles and polygons
- Enable users to visualize their structures in 3D
