Provenance & verification

Where the Site Intelligence Comes From

CivilProposal's preliminary scoping is sourced: it combines municipal, provincial, and federal open data with planning-level rules. It is not generative AI. Every data point in your scoping report carries source attribution. Traceable, planning-level findings from open data so your team knows what to verify before client discussion, not AI guesswork.

Screened vs. Source-confirmed

Every output is labelled screened (planning-level, from open data) or source-confirmed (matched against an official open-data source), so your team knows exactly what to check before submission.

Live

A direct, queryable integration with an official source.

Snapshot

Historical official records captured from the authority.

Screening

Partial or non-regulatory mapping, a planning-level signal, not a clearance.

Reference

Jurisdiction-level standards or authority references rather than parcel-specific data.

Sources We Draw On

Official open-data sources, integrated where the authority publishes them. Each data point carries source attribution for independent verification.

Parcel & Land Use

DataBC ParcelMap BC, provincial parcel services, and municipal zoning GIS where published.

Agricultural Land

BC Agricultural Land Reserve (Agricultural Land Commission).

Flood & Wetland

Flood map inventory, provincial/municipal floodplain layers, and wetland significance where available.

Climate & Design Rainfall

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC): climate normals and IDF design-rainfall curves.

Elevation & Terrain

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) Elevation API.

Conservation Authorities

Select Ontario conservation authorities (e.g. TRCA, Credit Valley, Grand River, Conservation Halton).

Indigenous Territory & Treaty

Crown-Indigenous Relations (CIRNAC) and Indigenous Services Canada treaty boundary records, screening-level, not a substitute for formal Indigenous consultation.

Servicing

Municipal water, sanitary, and storm main layers where the municipality publishes queryable data.

Traffic

Municipal and provincial average annual daily traffic (AADT) where published.

What You Must Verify

Screened outputs are planning-level signals, not regulatory clearances. Confirm zoning, floodplain regulation, permits, servicing, and design parameters with the municipality and authorities having jurisdiction before relying on them in a fee proposal.

Preliminary, planning-level screening, not a sealed engineering report. Verify with qualified professionals and authorities before client submission. Read disclaimer
