Fast & Reliable Takeoff – Powered by AGTEK

How It Works

Full Sitework Takeoff - AGTEK - project plans 1

Step 1: Getting Started — Send Us Your Plans

Start by sending us your project drawings.
Simply upload your PDF plans and CAD (DWG) files — or share them through any cloud link. If you have site sketches, existing grades, or field notes, include those too.

The more information we receive, the more accurately we can capture your project scope and produce a detailed, field-ready takeoff.

Step 2: We Analyze & Prepare Your Takeoff

Once we have your plans, our certified estimators review every detail — contours, grading limits, utilities, paving, and structures — to ensure full scope coverage.
Using AGTEK (industry-leading earthwork takeoff software) and Bluebeam Revu, we calculate cut and fill volumes, topsoil handling, and material quantities with precision.

This combination of technology and experience ensures accurate and transparent results you can rely on for bidding and project management.

Step 3: Detailed Reports & Other Deliverables

  • All Required Detailed Reports – Cut/Fill Volume Report, Depth Bracket Summary, Trench Volume Report, Building Excavation Footer Report, Structure Measures Summary, Material Summary Report, Structure Measures Report, Depth Bracket Report and Import/Export Summary.
  • 3D Cut/Fill Map View – interactive visualization of earthwork volumes.
  • Marked-up Drawings – Annotated drawings highlighting earthwork, civil work, and full sitework areas. These include cut/fill zones, grading, utility placements, and other key site elements, providing a clear visual reference to support the takeoff reports.

  • 3D Drive Through Video (AGTEK) – A dynamic 3D visualization of the project site created in AGTEK, showing terrain, grading, cut/fill volumes, and site features. This video provides an interactive, realistic perspective of the earthwork and full sitework.
  • AGTEK File – for advanced verification and adjustments in AGTEK.

  • Google Earth File (KMZ/KML) – optional field review and general visualization.

Our Deliverables

Color Coded Marked-up Plans (AGTEK)

Our color-coded marked-up plans are delivered in PDF format for easy sharing and review. Generated with AGTEK, these plans highlight cut, fill, grading zones, and all other sitework material quantities with clear color coding directly on the site drawings. This allows clients and contractors to quickly review earthwork, material takeoffs, and project details, improving communication and ensuring accurate execution on-site.

Cut and Fill Map View - AGTEK

Cut and fill map view provides a clear, color-coded visualization of earthwork quantities generated using AGTEK software. It shows precise areas of cut and fill across the site, helping contractors quickly understand grading adjustments, balance earthwork, and plan material movement efficiently.

3D Drive-Through Video - AGTEK

3D drive-through video created with AGTEK software offers an interactive visualization of the site’s existing and proposed grades. This realistic simulation allows you to virtually “drive” through the project, viewing elevation changes, slopes, and grading details from a ground-level perspective. It’s an excellent tool for presentations, project reviews, and identifying potential design or constructability issues before construction begins.

Google Earth Overlays

Our Google Earth KMZ/KML file and Video provide an easy way to visualize your earthwork data in Google Earth. These files include accurate grading, cut/fill areas, and project boundaries, allowing clients and contractors to view the site in 3D from any location.
