Sitework estimating
Grading, earthwork and civil scope quantified with precision
Excavation contractors, site contractors, land developers and general contractors turn to our sitework estimating team when their own estimators are stretched between bidding and field duties. Cut-and-fill volumes, surface grading and earth quantities are calculated and returned as a complete package rather than a rough guess. Our Division 2 estimators are fluent in civil design software and understand how public, commercial and residential sitework projects differ in scope, permitting and phasing.
Every takeoff accounts for elevation changes, ridges, swales, breaklines and pad elevations so the volumes you bid on reflect the real topography of the site.
Beyond earthwork, we quantify utilities, paving, drainage, retaining structures and site furnishings in one coordinated estimate, so nothing is left for a change order to catch later.
