Case Study
AAA Estimating’s Earthwork Takeoff Prevents $95K Cost Overrun for 50-Acre Commercial Development
A Construction Firm (Name & Project Details Confidential)
A 50-acre site for a new warehouse and distribution center.
Challenge
The initial in house earthwork estimate for the project was rushed and based on outdated topographic survey data. The Firm needed a highly accurate cut-and-fill analysis to finalize their bid and secure financing.
Our team was engaged to perform a definitive earthwork quantity takeoff using the latest project data analysis that revealed that the client’s initial estimate had a 15% variance in rock excavation quantities. By applying our detailed methodology, we delivered a final cut/fill balance with an accuracy of 99.2%, providing a clear financial picture and eliminating budgetary guesswork. We prevented a potential $95,000 cost overrun and they won their bid.
