SketchUp Pro Civil Contractor: A Simpler 3D Workflow for Site Teams
For site contractors and heavy civil teams, moving from a 3D model to field operations can involve too many separate steps, file conversions and disconnected tools.
SketchUp Pro Civil Contractor is designed to simplify that process by connecting SketchUp with Trimble Siteworks and Earthworks.
This gives you a more direct route from design to stakeout and machine-guided excavation, while keeping project data easier to manage across the team.
Bring 3D into Your Daily Workflow
At the centre of the bundle is SketchUp Pro, giving you an intuitive way to build and adjust site models without starting in a more complex CAD environment.
You can prepare geometry, review the model and get it ready for field use in a workflow that is easier to adopt for everyday projects.
Connect SketchUp with Siteworks
The Trimble Site Contractor Extension links SketchUp with Trimble Siteworks and supports two-way data exchange.
You can assign ground control points, import Work Order data in .SP format and prepare models for Trimble Earthworks.
This helps reduce the need for third-party conversions and keeps the path from office to field more straightforward.
Start with Real Survey Data
With the Trimble Field Points Extension, geolocated survey points can be imported directly from CSV files.
That means you can begin with real site coordinates rather than rebuilding or approximating survey information manually.
Keep Field Teams Aligned
When survey crews and machine operators work from the same design model, it becomes easier to avoid mismatched data and costly corrections.
A more connected workflow can help reduce rework, improve grading efficiency and cut unnecessary machine passes.
For contractors, that can mean lower fuel use, less wasted time and better control over project costs.
From Model to Jobsite
SketchUp Pro Civil Contractor brings together:
SketchUp Pro for 3D modelling,
Trimble Siteworks for survey and stakeout,
Trimble Earthworks for machine-guided excavation.
If you want a simpler way to introduce 3D into civil site workflows and move project data from design to field with fewer steps, this bundle gives you a practical place to start.
