Civil Engineering

Catch civil corrections before you submit

Scan a grading, drainage, and site set before submission and see the corrections the reviewing agencies are likely to flag.

Plan Proof forecasts these — civil engineering corrections your jurisdiction is likely to flag, surfaced before you submit, each with evidence.

Overview

Civil and grading plan checks involve multiple reviewing agencies — building department, public works, fire, and sometimes a separate grading division. Correction items from different agencies arrive at different times and in different formats. Catching the predictable ones before you submit is the core opportunity.

Common civil engineering correction items

  • Drainage calculations not provided or do not match proposed grades
  • Low impact development (LID) BMP design incomplete
  • Emergency overflow path not shown for retention basin
  • Street improvement plan not submitted to public works
  • Sewer/water lateral sizes not specified on utility plan

Field data from plan check submissions in California jurisdictions. Codes reference California Building Code (CBC) unless noted.

How Plan Proof catches civil engineering corrections

Civil projects often straddle multiple agencies. Plan Proof scans the set and forecasts the corrections each reviewer is likely to flag — grading, public works, and fire access alike — each finding cited to a sheet and code item so you can resolve them before you submit.
