Trasado provides a desktop application that automatically converts raw survey data into construction‑ready site plans and preliminary road designs in minutes, running on Windows and Mac. By automating the drafting workflow, it reduces the typical two‑to‑three‑week design cycle to days and cuts engineering fees by up to 50%, while still allowing engineers to review and refine the output. The tool targets civil engineering firms, land‑development companies, and municipal planners needing fast, cost‑effective preliminary designs.

Problem
Civil design teams still rely on manual drafting to convert raw survey data into construction‑ready drawings, a process that can take weeks and cost thousands of dollars per project. The lack of automation creates a bottleneck that delays subdivision and infrastructure development.
Solution
Trasado offers a desktop application that automatically generates site plans and preliminary road designs directly from survey data. By ingesting raw survey inputs, the software produces construction‑ready drawings in minutes, reducing the typical two‑to‑three‑week drafting cycle to a matter of days. The tool runs on Windows and Mac, allowing engineers to start a project instantly after entering a developer key. Trasado’s automation cuts engineering fees by up to 50 % while preserving the role of engineers for review and higher‑level design work. The platform is positioned as the first stage of a broader civil‑infrastructure operating system that will later incorporate stormwater, utilities, zoning, and structural siting modules.
Target Audience
Primary customers are civil engineering firms, land‑development companies, and municipal planning departments that need fast, cost‑effective preliminary design for subdivisions and infrastructure projects.
Features
