Earthwork Takeoff

Our earthwork takeoff services cover every aspect of site preparation and excavation to ensure accurate project planning and cost estimation. We provide mass excavation with cut and fill balancing, delivering precise calculations for efficient grading. Stripping of topsoil and existing pavement is included, with quantities determined for removal and potential reuse. We handle mass excavation for fill and subgrade preparation, ensuring a stable foundation for your project. Our takeoff also include clearing, grubbing, and stump removal.

For more challenging conditions, we perform site and trench rock excavation takeoff based on geotechnical reports, and calculate import borrow requirements to ensure sufficient fill material is available. Excavation to waste is quantified according to project specifications, whether onsite or offsite. We provide foundation excavation takeoffs for footings, slabs, and structural foundations. Additionally, we account for erosion and sediment control measures to protect the site during construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

An earthwork takeoff is a detailed measurement of all excavation and fill quantities for a construction project. It includes calculating cut and fill volumes, site grading, and material quantities required for site preparation.

 

Outsourcing earthwork takeoffs can save time, reduce errors, and improve cost accuracy. By leveraging experienced professionals and digital tools, contractors can receive precise cut/fill volumes, material estimates, and grading analysis without diverting internal resources from other project tasks. This leads to faster project planning, better budgeting, and more informed construction decisions.

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).

We require the project’s civil site plans, grading plans, and any geotechnical reports if available. CAD, PDF, or GIS files are all acceptable formats.

 

While we use precise digital methods and available geotechnical data, actual site conditions may vary. Our reports are intended as estimating tools only.

 

At Veracity Estimating, we use AGTEK, one of the most advanced and widely recognized earthwork takeoff software programs in the construction industry. AGTEK allows us to perform highly accurate calculations for cut, fill, and grading quantities, generate 3D models of your site, create color-coded maps, and produce detailed volume and material reports.

We import site plans, CAD, or PDF drawings into AGTEK, define existing and proposed grades, calculate cut and fill volumes, and generate detailed reports and 3D visualizations. This ensures precise and reliable earthwork estimates for your project.
