Services
Order a single takeoff or the full sitework cost estimate - earthwork through paving.
01
Complete sitework quantity takeoff pulled from civil drawings, site plans, and grading plans - earthwork, utilities, and paving in one pass.
02
Material, labor, equipment, and hauling costs rolled into a single sitework cost estimate priced to current market rates.
03
Land development cost estimating covering site preparation, clearing and grubbing, and site restoration for ground-up development.
04
Cut-and-fill grading estimating, excavation estimating, and demolition estimating with dewatering cost estimate where required.
05
Water line, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and fire line estimating, plus underground piping and utility trenching takeoff.
06
Asphalt paving estimating, concrete paving estimating, parking lot estimating, and curb, gutter, and sidewalk estimating.
Process
The same five-phase process behind every sitework cost estimate we deliver, sized to project scale.
PHASE 01
We review civil drawings, grading plans, utility plans, and drainage plans, flagging unclear grades or utility conflicts before takeoff starts.
PHASE 02
Excavation and backfill quantities, land clearing estimating, and site preparation estimating calculated from cut-and-fill grading data.
PHASE 03
Utility quantity takeoff covering manhole and catch basin quantity takeoff, drainage structure takeoff, and pipe bedding quantity takeoff.
PHASE 04
Aggregate and paving quantities - aggregate base takeoff, asphalt quantity takeoff, and site concrete quantity takeoff - measured by area and depth.
PHASE 05
A second estimator checks quantities against marked-up civil drawings before you receive a bid-ready sitework estimate summary with inclusions and exclusions.
Project types
Earthwork volumes and utility scope shift by project type - our takeoffs account for that from the first pass.
What's included
No stripped-down lump sum - you get the backup that lets you defend the number.
Aggregate, pipe, structure, and pavement quantities by area and depth.
