About Sell Civil Engineering Data to AI
The people behind this site read the licences of civil design and modelling software, the copyright statutes, the federal data clauses and the engineering appointment publishers' own pages, keep the text they quote, and answer each enquiry themselves.
Why we built this
Whether a civil practice can license its archive turns on two things nobody puts side by side: the appointment each scheme ran under and the tools the models live in. This site sets them next to each other, scheme type by scheme type.
Who will find it useful
Directors and principals of civil engineering practices holding years of road, drainage, flood, earthworks and traffic schemes.
Inside this site
Start with the quote form: it answers one question, "sell civil engineering data to ai", on the page, with no account needed. Next come 4 guides on nearby questions. Then the data (figures, and how they were made) and the sources, every one linked.
- Who owns civil engineering drawings once the client has paid?: Who owns civil engineering drawings after the fee is paid? US and UK copyright, the federal data clauses and the ACE, NEC and EJCDC terms, quoted.
- The civil engineer's copyright licence to the client: What a client's licence covers under a civil engineer's appointment: ACE, NEC and EJCDC terms, copying in three dimensions, and what a licence never covers.
- Can a civil engineering firm sell its design models to AI?: Can a civil engineering firm sell its design models to AI? What the hydraulic, drainage, earthworks and traffic tools' own documents say, and what they leave out.
- Civil engineering firm for sale: what happens to the scheme archive: Civil engineering firm for sale? The scheme archive can be licensed on its own, before or alongside a sale, once each scheme's appointment has been read.
Where it stops
- We do not rank or recommend any modelling package; a row is the vendor's sentence and our short reading of it.
- The form never asks for a drawing, a model file or a client's name.
- We do not show any scheme to a buyer before the practice has checked that it is its own to license.

No tool vendor, contract publisher or buyer pays to appear here, and no link on this site earns a commission. Every row is our reading of a published document, not legal advice on your own appointments. How this site is paid: if the practice licenses its archive to a buyer we introduce, our fee is 12.5% of the deal, with a minimum, when we act as your exclusive agent, or 10% with a minimum when the archive joins a bundle or the pool, agreed in writing before anything moves; any fee a buyer pays us is credited back to you.
