I will do precise civil earthwork takeoff and grading volume
About this Gig
Are you bidding on a project and need absolute certainty on your earthwork numbers? or are you a contractor ready to move dirt but need a precise grading model?
With over 20 years of hands on industry experience in construction and land surveying, i bridge the gap between field reality and office design. I build highly accurate 3d surface models in Civil 3d to deliver precise earthwork takeoffs that protect your profit margins.
Whether you are bidding on a small commercial pad, a massive retail development, or a complex linear infrastructure corridor, I've got you covered.
What I can do for you:
- Cut/fill calculations, bulk excavation, and structural backfill volumes
- Individualized material breakdowns for building pads, structural footings, and varying pavement sections ( heavy vs light duty asphalt, sidewalks, and landscape).
- Landxml surface exports ready to load directly into Leica, Trimble, Topcon and any other field controllers that reads xml files.
What I need to get started:
To ensure 100% accuracy, please provide any available project files such as PDF plans, cad files, and survey points. Save time, eliminate guesswork, and bid with absolute confidence. Lets get to work!

FAQ
What files do you need from me to start the project?
Please provide the engineering pdf plans, the autocad drawing files (.dwg, .dxf), and any existing topo survey data or points you have. If you only have pdf sheets, that is completely fine, just make sure they contain the necessary design elevations so i can digitize and model the site accurately
Are your 3d models compatible with GPS machine control systems?
Yes, absolutely. I build all surfaces in civil 3d, keeping them clean, breakline supported, and boundary checked. I can export these surfaces into standardized landxml files that are perfectly formatted to load directly into your leica, trimble, topcon or any GPS and field controllers that reads xml
How do you handle soil shrinks/swell/compaction factors?
By default, all cut/fills volume calc's are modeled at a 1.000 raw cut and fill factor. However, if your geotechnical report specifies a particular soil shrink, swell, or compaction factor (for example, a 15% shrink factor on backfill),just let me know before we begin. I will apply those factors.
Can you handle multi layered subgrade materials like asphalt, gravel base and topsoil stripping?
Yes, i specialize in multi zone grading takeoffs. I don't just calculate a generic " dirt volume", i can isolate and segment your quantities by construction depth. This includes separate calc's for building pad subgrades, footings, heavy duty paving sections, light duty parking stalls, etc.
