What this service does
An earthwork quantity takeoff measures excavation, fill, grading, pits, trenches or related work from an agreed set of plans and survey information. The service confirms the scope and measurement basis first, calculates the required quantities, and returns schedules, marked drawings and calculation notes so an estimator or project engineer can review how each figure was derived.
Built for project teams that need production support.
Contractors preparing tenders or construction plans
Estimators and quantity surveyors needing specialist production support
Civil consultancies that need additional calculation capacity
Inputs in. Reviewable files out.
An agreed quantity package with its drawing basis, units, boundaries and assumptions stated clearly.
Provide
- Issued PDF or CAD plans with drawing revision
- Survey points, contours or an existing-ground surface when available
- Scope boundary, measurement rules, required units and deadline
Receive
- Itemized quantity schedule in XLSX or agreed tabular format
- Marked PDF or CAD drawing showing measured limits
- Calculation sheets with units, assumptions and revision notes
- Cross-sections or grid records when required by the method
Method, checks and limits stay visible.
Grid or surface-based measurement for area earthworks
Cross-section measurement for corridors and linear works
Drawing-by-drawing checks against the agreed work boundary
Scope boundary
The takeoff reflects the supplied information and agreed measurement basis; it does not replace local design approval, geotechnical interpretation or Engineer-of-Record review.
Questions about the scope.
What file formats can I send?
PDF and DWG are the usual starting points. Survey points, contours, LandXML or other surface data are useful when available. The scope review confirms what can be used before quotation.
Can the quantities be revised when drawings change?
Yes. Revisions are compared against an identified drawing issue so changed inputs, recalculated items and assumptions remain traceable.
Are the outputs suitable for tender review?
They can support estimating and tender review when the supplied design information is adequate. The project team remains responsible for its commercial rates, local rules and final submission.
Project scope review
Start with the files already available.
The scope review confirms what can be measured, which method fits and what will be delivered. We aim to respond within two business days.
