Engineering software for civil & survey work

Public terrain data, straight into CAD.

Northing Labs builds precise, no-nonsense tools for civil engineers and surveyors. First up: find the best public LiDAR and imagery for your site and bring it into AutoCAD and Civil 3D as a surface — one command instead of an afternoon.

Eight steps, four programs, one site.

Getting public terrain into a drawing today means hunting portals, downloading tiles, fixing coordinate systems and wrestling file sizes — with a silent failure waiting at nearly every step.

How we build

A small, focused suite of tools — each one solving a single chore properly.

Built by an engineering consultant

Every tool starts from a real, repeated frustration in day-to-day consulting design work — not a feature list.

Inside the software you use

Runs in AutoCAD and Civil 3D. No round-trips through extra programs, no exporting and re-importing.

Self-serve, start to finish

Try it, buy it, install it. No sales calls, no procurement meeting, no demo required.
