02 What is a Site Investigation Report (SIR)
I Used AI to Design a Commercial Site in Civil 3D

6m 18s
In this video, we explore the fundamentals of a Site Investigation Report (SIR) for land development and demonstrate how to leverage AI tools like ChatGPT to research property data and streamline due diligence.
We start by explaining what an SIR report is and why it's critical for evaluating zoning, setbacks, utilities, and site constraints before starting a site plan. Then, we upload a commercial property brochure into ChatGPT to query local GIS data, retrieve parcel IDs, verify acreage and ownership info, generate labeled aerial parcel maps via ArcGIS data, and pull adjacent parcel and roadway details.
