    • Builder Trend: Construction management software with tools to streamline projects, enabling mobile access and error-free estimations.

    Civil Engineering Software: Miscellaneous

    • GUI (Graphical User Interface): A collection of software programs using computer graphics to make apps easy to use.
    • HEC-RAS: A river analysis system for modeling water flow through open channels, including subcritical, supercritical, and mixed flows, and effects of structures.

    Civil Engineering Software: Estimating and Budgeting

    • Estimate Master: Construction estimating software, useful with or without QuickBooks; creates quick and easy estimations, and assists with creating formal bids and proposals.
    • Clear Estimate: Construction estimating software, accessible through any web browser on any mobile device; includes detailed cost information for labor, materials, and each product.

    Civil Engineering Software: Building Management

    • Building Management System (BMS): Used to save water and energy by controlling rainwater harvesting and landscape irrigation, and to monitor and control building systems like lifts, elevators, fire alarms, and CCTV.

    Additional Notes

    • Civil 3D and AutoCAD: Civil 3D builds upon AutoCAD.
    • Software Makers: Several software companies build these programs.
    • Applications: These programs serve various civil engineering applications, depending on the particular software and its capability.
