Screen Civil Pursuits Before You Commit Engineering Hours
Municipal, provincial, and federal site intelligence resolved to your project address. Identify risks, scope assumptions, and permitting considerations before drafting a proposal or committing a fee.
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.
Why Civil Firms Use CivilProposal
Most proposal mistakes happen before the proposal is written. CivilProposal screens the pursuit, protects the fee, and gives senior staff a structured starting point.
Avoid Missed Site Constraints
Surface common permitting, servicing, stormwater, and environmental considerations from municipal open data earlier in the pursuit for professional review. A missed constraint can erase the profit on a project.
Reduce Proposal Preparation Time
Start with sourced site intelligence instead of researching multiple municipal systems manually. Senior engineers refine a draft instead of writing from a blank page.
Protect Scope Boundaries
Generate proposal language with assumptions, exclusions, and qualifiers clearly stated, ready for professional review and refinement before client submission.
Improve Go / No-Go Decisions
Understand project complexity earlier so senior staff spend time pursuing the right opportunities, not running deep on pursuits that should have been declined.
From Address to Draft, Three Steps
Intelligence first, then a structured proposal draft ready for professional review.
Enter the Site
Start with the site address. CivilProposal resolves location-specific site intelligence from it; project details come later, when you continue to fees and a proposal.
Review Sourced Scoping Intelligence
Planning-level risks, typical permit timelines, budget ranges, and recommended phases, from municipal, provincial, and federal open data. Each data point labelled screened or source-confirmed.
Generate Proposal Draft & Refine
Generate a structured proposal draft from the intelligence for professional review. Edit, collaborate, and export to PDF (all plans) or Word (Solo+) with your firm profile branding.
The Intelligence Layer
Before the draft, there is the intelligence. The first six capabilities are what makes CivilProposal different. The rest are how your firm runs day to day.
Municipal Intelligence Layer
Canadian municipal, provincial, and federal open data resolved to a project address where published: zoning, flood mapping, typical permit timelines, servicing signals, and environmental overlays. Coverage varies by municipality; provincial and federal baseline elsewhere.
- 25+ Canadian cities with live municipal data
- Provincial and federal baseline elsewhere
- Zoning, land-use, and overlays
- Source attribution on every data point
Preliminary Scoping Intelligence
Planning-level summaries that surface risks, stormwater considerations, permitting delays, and site constraints before you draft. Sourced from open data with screened or source-confirmed labels; scoping intelligence is deterministic; proposal prose is drafted for professional review.
- Municipality-specific permit timelines
- GIS-informed site context
- Climate and environmental factors
- Budget range estimates
Climate & Environmental Context
Historical weather data, precipitation patterns, and seasonal planning-level signals where climate data is available. Screening notes only, not a construction schedule.
- Climate normals where published
- Seasonal risk notes
- Environmental risk identification
- Precipitation and freeze/thaw context
Proposal Draft Generation
Structured proposal drafts grounded in sourced scoping findings: scope, planning-level budget, timeline, risk awareness, deliverables, terms and conditions. Conservative language with qualifiers, assumptions, and exclusions.
- Risk-aware language
- Qualifiers built in
- Explicit assumptions and exclusions
- Firm Profile branding on exports
Risk-Aware Drafting & Scope Protection
Drafts use conservative qualifier language: typically, estimated, subject to verification. Assumptions and exclusions stated explicitly. Engineered to protect the firm from over-committed scope.
- Built-in qualifiers
- Stated exclusions and limitations
- Scope boundary protection
- Liability awareness
Go / No-Go Support
Coverage confidence, planning-level budget, permit timelines, and risk flags in minutes, so principals can decide whether to chase a pursuit before engineering hours are committed.
- Pursuit-stage risk screening
- Planning-level budget envelope
- Permit context and timelines
- Coverage confidence per data point
How Your Firm Runs Day to Day
Firm profile, exports, collaboration, templates, and analytics. The features your team uses after they buy. Some require a paid plan, see Pricing.
Firm Profile & Rate Cards
Configure your Firm Profile once (company details, signatory, credentials, and rate cards), applied to exports and proposal drafts.
- Firm Profile and branding

Reference Proposals & Templates
Upload past proposals to a private firm library for human review only (not used in draft generation). Create reusable templates for common project types (Solo+).
- Private past-proposal library
- Template creation and reuse
- Project type categorization
- Apply a template when drafting (Solo+)
