Earthwork

Cut and fill volumes, not allowances.

OmniTakeoff differences existing and proposed contours from civil sheets to produce a real cut-and-fill volume map. Bonded haul math derives from your truck-rate table, not a national average.

  • 5 ft × 5 ft grid

    Cut/fill resolution

  • Per-spec

    Topsoil stripping

  • Round-trip

    Haul math

What the takeoff produces

A earthwork takeoff that survives review.

Every line item carries the source it came from — sheet, detail, and spec paragraph — so the senior estimator can audit in minutes, not hours.

  • Mass cut/fill volumes by zone (parking / building pad / drainage swale)
  • Topsoil stripping cubic yards per spec depth
  • Embankment compaction lifts per spec specification
  • Haul math: cubic yards × round-trip × truck cost
  • Dewatering need flagged from groundwater elevation
  • Erosion-control linear feet (silt fence, wattles) per civil notes

Earthwork features

Built for the way your office actually bids.

  • Contour-difference engine

    Existing and proposed contours are gridded and differenced — you don't sketch a polyline by hand.

  • Topsoil-aware

    Stripping depth and reuse plan come from the spec; salvaged topsoil reduces the import volume.

  • Truck-rate table

    Org-level haul-rate table drives the haul math. No national-average $/CY guesses.

Frequently asked

Questions we hear from estimators.

Do you handle rock excavation?
Yes — rock allowance bands come from the geotech borings; rock CY reports as its own line at a separate labor unit.

The pilot is end-to-end: real plan set, real takeoff, real proposal. No demo data.
