Excavation
Cut, fill, haul — every cubic yard tracked.
OmniTakeoff reads civil sheets and geotech reports to produce a cut/fill volume takeoff with shoring SF, dewatering needs, and rock-allowance bands pulled from the soils report.

What the takeoff produces
A excavation 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 excavation cubic yards by zone (cut/fill)
- Foundation excavation by element with over-excavation factor
- Utility trench cubic yards by service and depth
- Rock allowance bands per geotech borings
- Shoring square feet (sheet pile / soldier pile) per spec
- Dewatering need flagged from groundwater table elevation
Excavation features
Built for the way your office actually bids.
Civil-sheet parser
Existing and proposed contours are differenced into a cut/fill volume map, not assumed.
Geotech-aware
Boring logs, groundwater elevation, and over-excavation factors come from the soils report directly.
Spec-to-line linking
Each volume and shoring line points at the spec paragraph (or soils report page) that called it.
Haul math
Round-trip distance and truck count from a configurable haul-rate table.
Frequently asked
Questions we hear from estimators.
- Do you handle dewatering as its own line?
- Yes — pump capacity and duration are separate lines so a wet site doesn't surprise you mid-project.
