Cut and fill from grading plans, excavation, utilities and pad prep.

Included in every estimate
- Cut and fill volumes from existing versus proposed grades
- Topsoil strip, respread and disposal
- Trenching and backfill for site utilities
- Building pad and pavement subgrade prep
- Erosion control and SWPPP items
- Import and export haul quantities
The deliverable
An Excel workbook organized by CSI division. Every line shows the drawing or schedule reference, quantity, waste factor, unit, material cost, manhours and labor cost. A summary sheet rolls the divisions up and carries overhead, profit, insurance and contingency. You can hand it to a supplier for pricing or plug in your own rates.

Frequently asked
How do you calculate cut and fill?
We model existing and proposed surfaces from the civil drawings and report balanced volumes with shrink and swell factors stated. Assumptions are always visible, never buried.
Do you cover demolition and milling?
Yes. Pavement milling, demolition of existing site items and removals are itemized in their own division.
