Sitework and excavation estimating services for Canadian contractors

Sitework is where the project meets the ground, and the ground is rarely what the drawings assume. Topsoil, rock, groundwater, frost and the haul distance all change the number, and earth is measured in volumes that are easy to get wrong.

We prepare excavation, grading and sitework takeoffs with cut and fill in cubic yards, so you can price trucking, equipment and materials.

| What we count and price

Stripping and topsoil, with cut and fill volumes from the grading plan
Excavation for foundations, trenches and services
Granular base and sub-base, compaction and backfill
Underground storm, sanitary and water services
Asphalt and concrete paving, curbs and walkways
Erosion and sediment control

| Canadian sitework detail

Frost depth and frost protection differ by region
Granular materials are named by the local specification, such as Granular A and B in Ontario
Dewatering and shoring where the water table or depth requires it
Winter conditions slow excavation and compaction

| How we price it

Volumes are shown as bank and loose where it matters, with haul and disposal on separate lines. Rock and contaminated soil are priced as allowances, and the assumption is written next to them.

| Timing

Small sitework takeoffs are normally ready in about 4 to 6 hours and larger projects in 6 to 48 hours, depending on size and urgency.

Frequently asked questions

Do you take off from grading plans?

Yes, using the existing and proposed contours to calculate cut and fill.

How do you treat rock and bad soil?

As allowances with the assumption stated, since the drawings usually cannot show them.

Do you include paving?

Yes. Asphalt, concrete and base are counted separately.

Do you price utilities?

Yes. Pipe, structures, bedding and backfill are counted by run.
