Get the latest from Civils&work and explore innovative practices where AI meets civil engineering
The inaugural issue rounds up the key civil engineering and AI signals of the past two weeks: Bentley announced its 2026 Year in Infrastructure awards and keeps advancing OpenSite+ generative site design; Autodesk and Microsoft are accelerating their AEC ecosystem moves; and in China, CSCEC completed the third phase of its AI training program, Hong Kong's Construction Industry Council aligned with the national "AI+" initiative, and the CADE expo opens in Beijing this October.
In September 2026, Civils&work officially launched Civil AI Radar. Built for design institutes and engineering enterprises, this engineering intelligence platform continuously tracks AI adoption in civil engineering worldwide. Automatic collection is paired with human curation, and every item can be filtered by region, business niche, project stage, and maturity — giving design institutes citable intelligence support for bidding and strategic decisions.
In August 2026, Civils&work officially announced its new strategy — a full transformation into the navigator of AI organizational transformation in civil engineering. Three pillars work as one: AI organizational transformation consulting, the Civils&work Product Platform, and a tiered training system — helping civil engineering companies turn scattered AI experiments into organized, platform-based, measurable transformation results.
In May 2026, Civils&work officially launched its Corporate AI Training business for design institutes. The tiered training system gives leadership AI strategy insight and organizational adoption methodology, while frontline staff learn hands-on AI tools and coding productivity skills — lifting the AI capability of civil design teams across the board.
In January 2026, Civils&work officially launched its AI intelligent document translation feature. Built on AI semantic understanding and terminology recognition, it supports translation between 100+ languages and delivers high-quality document translation with accurate terminology, coherent context, and precisely restored layout — professional-grade translation for civil engineering and many other industries.
On November 11, 2025, Guangzhou Civils&work Technology Co., Ltd. was officially founded. The launch of a technology company dedicated to the deep integration of AI and civil engineering opens a new chapter in the intelligent transformation of the civil engineering industry.
