by VERACITY ESTIMATING
Reliable sitework estimating services for contractors and developers across North America, covering earthwork (including stripping, excavation, cut/fill, grading, and backfilling), erosion control, demolition, underground utilities, pavements, concrete, retaining walls, fencing, guardrails, landscaping, and irrigation.
Our earthwork takeoffs include 3D models for cut/fill, grading, excavation volumes and import/export calculations. Whether for road construction, site prep, or land development, our earthwork estimates provide the reliable report for bidding and project planning.
Precise concrete estimate covers asphalt paving (including base layers and milling quantities), concrete flatwork (slabs, sidewalks, curbs, and gutters), parking lots, roadways, and site hardscapes.
Accurate takeoffs for all types of retaining walls (gravity, cantilever, sheet pile) and fencing systems (security, decorative, perimeter). Our detailed estimates include structural requirements, material quantities and installation costs.
Estimates for all underground utility systems, including water, sewer, storm drain, gas, electrical, and telecom lines. Our estimates cover trenching, pipe installation, fittings, manholes, vaults, and connections.
Detailed demolition cost estimates to help contractors accurately plan and budget their projects. Our takeoffs include interior demolition (walls, flooring, cabinets, fixtures), structural components (roofing, foundations), and exterior structures (decks, fences).
Comprehensive landscaping and irrigation projects. Our detailed analysis covers softscape elements (plants, trees, mulch), hardscape features (patios, walkways), and complete irrigation systems (sprinkler networks, drip lines, controllers).
We transform 2D civil plans into precise 3D models, delivering accurate earthwork quantity reports that help contractors competitively bid sitework projects.
We use Kubla Cubed for accurate earthworks volumes, cut/fill analysis, and 3D terrain modeling.
We utilize AGTEK for precise 3D dirt work modeling, including grading, excavation, and cut/fill analysis for accurate earthwork takeoffs.
Our sitework estimating deliverables include detailed quantity takeoffs (earthwork, utilities, paving), itemized cost breakdowns (materials, labor, equipment) and annotated/marked-up PDF plans – all provided in spreadsheet format with a ±5% accuracy guarantee and 30-days revision support.
We deliver accurate, data-driven estimates that help contractors win more bids and control project costs. Our expertise in earthwork, utilities, paving, and site development ensures precise takeoffs and competitive pricing—backed by real-world project experience and industry-leading software. With fast turnaround times, transparent pricing and detailed reports, we provide the reliable estimates you need to minimize risk and maximize profitability on every job.
Precision in sitework estimating builds the foundation for project success. Our commitment to accurate, data-driven estimates empowers contractors to bid with confidence and win more work—because every cubic yard, linear foot, and square foot counts.
In our sitework estimates, we precisely quantify all critical elements including earthwork (cut/fill volumes, hauling), utilities (pipe lengths, structures), paving (materials, thicknesses), retaining walls (concrete, reinforcement), landscaping (plants, irrigation), demolition (debris, salvage), and fencing (linear footage, components). Every estimate includes detailed material quantities, labor hours, and equipment needs to ensure accurate bidding and cost control for your projects.
We obtain all available project information, including:
Civil plans (grading, utilities, profiles, details)
CAD/model files (DWG, DXF, LandXML)
Survey data (contours, spot elevations, breaklines)
Geotechnical reports (soil conditions, recommendations)
If CAD/survey data isn’t available, we digitize from PDFs.
We create a 3D surface of the existing site conditions using survey data, contours, and elevations. A precise existing ground model ensures reliable calculations.
We create a 3D surface of the existing site conditions using survey data, contours, and elevations. A precise existing ground model ensures reliable calculations.
We model over-excavation for building pads or unsuitable soils as needed. Utility trench excavation (storm, sewer, water, etc.) is also staged and reported with backfill volumes.
We model the finished grade (FG) surface for parking lots, drives, sidewalks, and pads. Subgrade depths are applied per pavement and structural requirements for precise volume breakdowns.
Our analysis includes:
Cut, fill, and site balance
Import/export needs
Stripping and unsuitable removal
Utility trench excavation/backfill
Rock excavation (if required)
Shrink/swell and compaction adjustments
You’ll receive:
Summary Report – totals, key areas, and assumptions
Detailed Spreadsheet – full cut/fill, utilities, subgrades, and surface breakdowns
Plan Markups – color-coded visuals and optional 3D models for better clarity
Revisions are provided quickly if design changes or updated assumptions are needed.
Sitework estimating is the process of calculating all costs for outdoor construction projects, including earthwork (excavation, grading, and fill dirt), utilities (storm drains and water/sewer lines), paving (roads and parking lots), and landscaping (soil, plants, and irrigation). We provide detailed measurements of materials, labor, and equipment needed so contractors can prepare accurate bids and budgets before starting a project.
Accurate estimates help contractors win more bids by providing competitive pricing, avoid financial losses by preventing unexpected costs (such as soil issues or material shortages), and plan more effectively by ensuring the right resources are allocated. Even small errors can lead to significant losses—for example, a 10% mistake on a $1 million project could cost $100,000. Our precise estimates give contractors the confidence to bid competitively while protecting profit margins.
Outsourcing your sitework estimating delivers significant cost savings, competitive advantages, and risk reduction. By leveraging our expertise, you gain access to specialized software, industry benchmarks, and faster turnaround times without the overhead of in-house staff. Our accurate estimates (with a ±5% accuracy guarantee) help you bid more competitively, avoid costly errors, and scale operations efficiently—turning estimating from an expense into a strategic advantage for winning more profitable projects.
The key difference lies in scope: Earthwork takeoff focuses exclusively on ground movement—calculating cut/fill volumes, hauling, and grading—while sitework takeoff encompasses all outdoor construction elements including earthwork, utilities, paving, landscaping, and structures. Earthwork is the foundation; sitework is the complete package. For example, a warehouse project needs earthwork takeoff to balance dirt (50,000 CY) and sitework takeoff to price utilities, paving, and fencing—both are essential for accurate budgeting.
A 2D takeoff is based on traditional plan drawings in two dimensions (length and width). Estimators manually calculate cut and fill volumes using cross-sections, contour lines, and spot elevations from PDF or CAD drawings.
Pros: Lower cost, faster turnaround, suitable for smaller or less complex projects.
Cons: Limited accuracy, higher chance of human error, does not visualize terrain in 3D.
A 3D takeoff uses digital terrain modeling (DTM) software to create a three-dimensional model of the existing and proposed site surfaces. The software then calculates precise cut and fill volumes directly from the model.
Pros: Higher accuracy, better visualization, faster for large/complex sites, integrates well with machine control and GPS grading equipment.
Cons: Slightly higher cost, requires good-quality CAD files (DWG, DXF, or LandXML).
Yes, typically 3D takeoff costs a bit more because it requires specialized software and modeling. However, the investment often pays off by preventing costly errors in the field and providing a clearer understanding of earthwork quantities.
