About Course
Design • Optimize • Deliver Constructible Land Development Grading Plans.
Stop Guessing Your Grading Decisions. Start Designing Like a Site Grading Professional.
Most engineers can model a surface in Civil 3D.
Very few can design grading that drains, balances earthworks, meets standards, and is constructable on site.
This program closes that gap.
Become a confident Site Grading Professional
THE HARD TRUTH (We’ll Say What Others Won’t)
You may already know Civil 3D.
You may even be able to produce a finished surface.
But deep down, you’ve felt it:
❌ “I’m not sure if this grading is actually correct.”
❌ “I don’t have a clear workflow — I’m just trying things.”
❌ “My grading works, but is it economical? Is it professional?”
❌ “I fear design reviews and senior engineer comments.”
❌ “I know the tools… but I don’t fully trust my judgment.”
This is not a software problem.
It’s a design confidence problem.
WHY MOST SITE GRADING FAILS
Because engineers are taught:
-
Commands instead of judgment
-
Tools instead of thinking
-
Surfaces instead of landform design
Site grading is not drafting.
It is engineering decision-making on terrain.
And that is exactly what this program teaches.
INTRODUCINGTHE SITE GRADING PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM
Using Autodesk Civil 3D
A structured, industry-driven program designed to transform you from a Civil 3D user into a confident site grading designer who can:
-
Read and interpret landforms
-
Design drainage-drive grading
-
Design constructible platforms
-
Optimize cut & fill
-
Deliver grading plans that meet professional standards
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
✔ Workflow-driven (not command-driven)
✔ Design judgment before software
✔ Optimization and cost awareness
✔ Real land development scenarios
✔ Professional-grade deliverables
This is how experienced engineers actually think.
WHAT THIS PROGRAM SOLVES (DIRECTLY)
1. No More Confusion — A Clear Grading Workflow
You will learn a step-by-step professional grading process, from:
-
Existing ground interpretation
-
To drainage logic
- To parking lots
-
To platforms, circulation, and final earthworks
No more “where do I start?”
2. From Guesswork to Engineering Judgment
You will understand:
-
Why slopes work
-
How levels relate (G : D: L)
-
What is acceptable, buildable, and professional
You will think before you model.
3. Real Optimization — Not Just Modeling
Learn how to:
-
Reduce unnecessary earthworks
-
Balance cut and fill
-
Control grading extents
-
Design with cost awareness
This is where real value is created on projects.
4. Drainage-Driven Design Confidence
You will stop treating drainage as an afterthought.
Instead, you’ll design grading that:
-
Moves water intentionally
-
Protects buildings
-
Avoids ponding and site failures
5. Professional-Grade Deliverables
By the end of the program, you will confidently deliver:
-
Finished Ground surfaces
-
Grading plans
-
Spot levels & contours
-
Earthwork quantities
-
Defensible design decisions
WHO THIS PROGRAM IS NOT FOR
✖ Those looking for shortcut commands
✖ Those who only want software tips
✖ Those unwilling to think critically about design
This program is for engineers who want mastery, not tricks.
WHAT YOU WILL BECOME
By completing this program, you will become:
A capable site grading engineer who designs with precision, confidence, professional standards, and engineering judgment.
⚠️ Limited Enrollment
Site grading requires feedback, review, and a deep understanding.
To ensure personalized guidance, mentorship, and project critique, class size is strictly capped.
