Gradon
Gradon is an AI platform that performs engineering work end-to-end inside a firm's existing CAD environment, from Civil 3D surfaces and grading to plan set checking and SWPPP document generation. Engineers assign tasks through the Gradon app and receive finished work built on company templates and standards, with the system integrated through a structured onboarding process that indexes past plan sets and custom workflows.

Problem
Civil engineering firms spend significant hours on repetitive production work such as grading surfaces, storm network design, plan set checking, and SWPPP document creation. General AI chatbots cannot work natively inside CAD tools like Civil 3D, and existing automation requires manual scripting or fails to account for firm-specific standards and past project data.
Solution
Gradon is an AI platform that performs engineering work across an entire project, operating inside the firm's CAD environment, standards, and file system. Engineers assign tasks through the Gradon app and receive finished work back, covering Civil 3D surfaces, grading, storm networks, Revit work, plan set checking against code and firm standards, SWPPP writing, and plan set PDF generation. The company sets up the system through a structured onboarding process that includes learning how the team runs projects, indexing past plan sets and standards, integrating with existing tools, and building custom workflows validated alongside engineers in the office.
Target Audience
Primary customers are civil engineering and AEC firms that use Autodesk Civil 3D, Revit, and related tools for land development, site design, and infrastructure projects, particularly those seeking to reduce production hours on grading, plan checking, and document generation.
