PLAN SET PREPARATION
Alada supports the preparation and coordination of civil plan sets by organizing approved design information into clear, consistent construction-document packages. The focus is on design-document integration, sheet coordination and technical completeness rather than CAD drafting alone.
WHAT IS PLAN SET PREPARATION?
Plan set preparation converts coordinated civil design information into a structured drawing package suitable for review, permitting or construction-document workflows, depending on project stage and scope.

CAD & SOFTWARE WORKFLOW
AutoCAD and Civil 3D can be used to assemble and coordinate plan-set information. Sheet sets, references, profiles, pipe networks and other Civil 3D objects may be incorporated where applicable.
Typical Inputs:
Approved design files • Design criteria and standards • Engineering calculations/model outputs where applicable • Sheet templates • Project details and schedules • Review comments • Client/jurisdictional requirements
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
- Verify project inputs, design criteria and scope before design development.
- Check coordination between related disciplines and identify apparent conflicts.
- Review geometry, elevations, dimensions and key design relationships appropriate to the service.
- Check calculations, model outputs or quantity data where included in the agreed scope.
- Review revisions against approved comments and current design information.
- Perform a final technical and deliverable completeness review before release.

FAQ’s
Does plan set preparation include design?
The service focuses on documenting and coordinating approved design information; design development can be included when specifically agreed as part of the project scope.
Can utility profiles be prepared?
Yes, where the required disciplines, approved design information and project standards are provided and included in the agreed scope.
Technical Considerations
The service depends on the quality and completeness of available survey, design criteria, existing-condition information, jurisdictional requirements and other project inputs. Alada performs work within the agreed scope and based on project information and criteria provided or established by the project team. Where engineering calculations, modeling, permitting decisions, professional certification or sealing are required, the responsible licensed professional should review, approve and certify the applicable work in accordance with project requirements and applicable law.
