[ ABOUT CIVILGRID ]

Helping America build faster, smarter, and safer

Every year, 500,000 dig-ins put lives at risk and cause $30 billion in damage. CivilGrid's vision is infrastructure renewal that creates safer communities, sustainable systems, and economic growth.

We can’t rebuild what we can’t see

Beneath every street lies a tangle of gas, electric, water, sewer, and fiber lines, and no one has ever had the full picture. The records are scattered across thousands of utilities and agencies. So every project starts from zero, the same research gets paid for again and again, and crews break ground without knowing for certain what's below.

CivilGrid changes that. We bring utilities, engineers, and public agencies together on one trusted map, so problems get solved on a screen instead of in the ground. Research is done once and shared, and the map gets better with every project that uses it.

That's our mission: to help teams build faster, smarter, and safer with collaborative, data-driven scoping and design. Our vision is infrastructure renewal that creates safer communities, sustainable systems, and economic growth.

And it all starts with knowing what's already in the ground.

Built by people who lived the problem

CivilGrid was founded by engineers and utility professionals with more than a decade inside the industry. Again and again, we watched highly skilled teams lose weeks on every project to the same bottleneck: finding, requesting, and interpreting the records they needed just to begin.

So we built a better way, one that lets every project start from a stronger foundation.

"I managed $500 million in infrastructure projects at PG&E. I was the customer. I lived with the delays, the redundant research, and the risk of never having the full picture. I left to start CivilGrid because I felt this was a problem that would be better solved from the outside in than the inside out. We're building the tool I wish I'd had."

CEO and Founder

"We need housing, transmission lines, transit, and so much more, but we pay more and move slower to build it than almost any other country. I started CivilGrid to fix that first step. Get day one right, and more of what we actually need gets built."
