Earthworx

Civil earthwork takeoff & estimating

Takeoffs and estimates, straight from the drawings.

Upload the PDFs for a project. Earthworx traces the contours and the site work, builds the existing and proposed ground, applies the geotech report, reads the documents for the risks a bid should carry, and gives you quantities you can stand behind. In a browser, on any machine.

STA 1+00What it does

The tedious parts, handled.

Tracing, counting, surfacing, adjusting for the soils, reading the fine print — the hours between opening a set and having a number. The judgment stays yours.

Trace

Contours in a click, not an afternoon.

Point at one contour and Earthworx picks up the whole family across the sheet, labels and all. Anything it can't confidently read it leaves for you, marked — it never guesses an elevation.

Measure

Everything else on the set, counted.

Silt fence and inlet protection, trench runs, underground utilities, pads and pavements — traced the same way, quantified in your units, and rolled up by the work areas you draw.

Surface

Cut and fill from the drawings you were given, no CAD required.

Existing and proposed ground come straight off the vector PDFs. Volumes are computed for each work area, and the cut and fill you see on screen add up to the totals you bid — the same numbers, never re-typed.

Adjust

The geotech report, automatically applied.

Shrink and swell, boring logs and groundwater from the soils report feed the quantities before they reach the bid — and the excavation is split by strata, so rock, hardpan and common soils are classified and priced as the separate volumes they are. The one input every other takeoff tool leaves on your desk.

Flag

The documents, analyzed for what they aren't telling you.

Earthworx reads the drawings, the specifications and the geotech report together and automatically flags bid risks: a spec that contradicts the plans, plan disclaimers that defer to local codes, a note nobody priced, heavy rock excavation, dewatering responsibility, and the risks you tell it to watch for. Work that until now lived in one estimator's head.

Anywhere

Any browser. Any machine. Nothing to install.

Heavy vector sheets render fast in the browser. No per-workstation license, and your drawing sets, takeoffs and bids stay private to your account.

STA 2+00Why trust it

Built to be checked.

Automation is only worth having if you can see what it did and overrule it. Three rules the software cannot break.

You control every decision.

Accept a whole traced family at once, or fix a vertex first — either way nothing enters a surface you haven't approved. Every acceptance, edit and delete sits on one undo timeline, so any number in the bid traces back to a line on a sheet and the person who confirmed it.

Blank beats wrong.

A contour or elevation the software can't reliably identify is left blank and flagged for you, never guessed. A wrong digit corrupts a surface silently; a flag is visible and defers to human judgment.

Measured on the drawing, not on a picture of it.

AI reads the words — labels, notes, specifications, the soils report. It never draws or moves a line. Every coordinate comes from the PDF's own vector geometry.

STA 3+00About

From the estimating desk.

Earthworx is built by a small team of estimators and engineers who have bid hundreds of millions of dollars of civil earthwork and built software that millions of people use every day. We have spent too many evenings tracing contours by hand and fighting with outdated applications, so we built the tool we never had on our own desks: one that reads the drawings the way we do, does the tedious parts for us, and shows its work so the numbers can be defended in the bid.
