Earthworks estimating software for on screen takeoffs for civil and site work contractors!

This powerful, yet easy to use site work estimating software will make money for you from the very first project you bid with it. Takeoff projects directly on your computer screen and stop printing blueprints for the purpose of estimating (save money). Never before has it been this easy and this fast to bid complex site work projects.

The Auto-Balance feature allows you to bid the project according to the engineers design, but then propose to the GC or Owner that you can save them a large amount of money simply by raising or lowering all of the proposed elevations according to what Earthworks tells you. This is the type of advantage that will help you win more work no matter what the competition bids for the project. Take advantage of modern technology and start winning more site work projects today! 

Now you can measure construction site plans directly on your monitor using your mouse on PDF or TIF formatted blueprint files or digitize your input from paper blueprints using a GTCO estimating digitizer. A user friendly interface allows you to enter in your information using common sense, instead of a technical manual. The EarthWorks interface allows you to navigate quickly and easily throughout the program. The large icons provide one click entry to all of the main EarthWorks features.

Introducing the new "Turbo Trace" function!

If you have solid existing or proposed contour lines on your plan, simply click the line in two locations to identify it, then press the "T" key on your keyboard to activate Turbo Trace. The system will automatically follow the contour line ! The Turbo Trace feature is a HUGE time saver when working on site work projects that include contour lines. Go here to watch a brief video demonstrating Turbo Trace!  

Earthworks includes built in “Show Me” Videos inside the software making it easy for you to become productive from the very first day of use. 

Estimating accurate construction project costs for civil and site work projects has never been easier or more affordable. Using Earthworks Construction Estimating Software you can easily trace in contour lines, topsoil stripping and re-spread areas, as well as input sub-grade and demolition areas, work areas and excluded areas. Cut & fill volumes are calculated quickly and easily with more accuracy than you could ever possibly achieve by hand. In addition, using Earthworks Construction Estimating Software you can easily input by digitizing directly on your monitor or on paper point to point lines and spot elevations. Instantly calculate material quantities and tonnage for your building pads and parking lots. If the project engineering staff has given you boring information you can input up to 99 unique strata layers in an unlimited number of borings located anywhere on your job site.
