Our Distinctive Cut and Fill Estimating Process

Our proven process ensures you receive reliable and actionable earthwork estimates every time. It begins when you share your project plans, typically site layouts, topographic surveys, or grading designs via email. Our certified estimators then perform a detailed digital takeoff using specialised software like Planswift and Bluebeam. We then precisely calculate cut and fill volumes, balance earthwork and identify import/export requirements.

We factor in soil type, compaction, slope stability and local disposal or material sourcing costs using up to date RSMeans data tailored to your ZIP code. Each estimate is double quality checked to eliminate errors and includes clear, itemised deliverables such as cut/fill balance summaries and cost breakdowns. You receive a comprehensive, bid ready estimate formatted for easy use, all within your deadline.
